Back Like That is the second single by American rapper Ghostface Killah from his critically acclaimed fifth solo album Fishscale (2006). It features R&B singer Ne-Yo and peaked at number 61 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Ghostface Killah's highest entry on the chart until his 2022 song "Purple Hearts" (with Kendrick Lamar and Summer Walker). "Back Like That" contains a sample of "Baby Come Home" as performed by Willie Hutch, as well an interpolation of "Song Cry" as performed by Jay-Z. A remix featuring Kanye West and Ne-Yo was later released and included on his sixth album, More Fish. He performed the song with Chrisette Michele at VH1's 6th Annual Hip Hop Honors ceremony.
Music video
[edit]The music video for "Back Like That" was directed by Ray Kay and Mike Caruso. The video illustrates the deterioration of the relationship between Ghostface and his girlfriend after she cheats on him with a man with whom he has beef. Over time, Tony regains his wounded pride and eventually kicks her out of their apartment. As the story draws to a close, the man she cheated on him with walks into a set-up where Tony's friends lie in wait. He promptly turns around to run away and they all give chase. The video then concludes with a "to be continued..."
