"Back to You" is a song recorded by English singer and songwriter Louis Tomlinson, featuring American singer and songwriter Bebe Rexha and British DJ Digital Farm Animals. It was written by Tomlinson, Digital Farm Animals, Pablo Bowman, Richard Boardman, and Sarah Blanchard, while the production was handled by Digital Farm Animals and Tommy Danvers. The single was released on 21 July 2017; its accompanying music video premiered the same date.

"Back to You" is the second solo single released by Louis Tomlinson after the announced hiatus of One Direction. The song is set to be included on his debut studio album, which will be released via his own label, 78 Productions. It was later confirmed Tomlinson signed a solo recording deal with Epic Records.

On 26 June, it was announced via two consecutive tweets from Tomlinson's Twitter that the song would be released at the end of July. The release date was later confirmed as 21 July. Parts of the music video were shot at Doncaster Rovers Football Club's Keepmoat Stadium.

"Back to You" comprises mid-tempo beats and piano chords. Lars Brandle of Billboard noted an "urban-textured" production. Lyrically, the song discusses returning to an on-again, off-again relationship. Tomlinson declared about its composition:

This song stood out to me across everything I've written. It’s quite minimal in the production; it's something that, even melodically, is quite different to something I would normally do.

Mike Wass of Idolator wrote in his review, "As far as 1D solo offerings go, this is fairly solid." Mark Savage of BBC Music described the track as "a brooding pop concoction." In Entertainment Weekly, Ariana Bacle called it "[an] infectious jam."
