Background
Trey Songz affirmed that on Back Home he "wanted to lay down even more heavy the R&B presence of love". He worked on the album in his hometown in Virginia, and according to him, that helped him work on it with less expectations. Talking about its making he said: It was different for me being around so much real, genuine love. As an artist, when you’re moving city-to-city, state-to-state, you’re often around what can be described as fake love.
