It was different for me being around so much real, genuine love. The singer worked the album in his hometown in Virginia, and according to him, that helped him work on it with less expectations. Trey Songz affirmed that on Back Home he "wanted to lay down even more heavy the R&B presence of love". The album peaked at number 15 on the US Billboard 200, becoming his second lowest charting album, following his debut album I Gotta Make It. The album also features appearances from Ty Dolla Sign, Davido, and Swae Lee. The title track, featuring Summer Walker, reached number 12 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart.

The album was supported by five official singles: "Back Home", the protest anthem "2020 Riots: How Many Times", as a response to the police murder of George Floyd, "Circles", "Two Ways" and "On Call". It was released on October 9, 2020, by Atlantic Records. Back Home is the eighth studio album by American singer Trey Songz.
