Back To You (feat. Bebe Rexha & Digital Farm Animals)

Louis Tomlinson's 'Back To You' featuring Bebe Rexha and Digital Farm Animals delves into the complexities of a toxic relationship, where the pull of emotional attachment clashes with the pain of dysfunctional dynamics. The song's lyrics express a sense of self-conflict and addiction to the highs and lows that such relationships often entail. Tomlinson sings about the confusion of not recognizing oneself anymore, a common feeling when one's identity becomes entangled with a tumultuous partnership.

The chorus highlights the destructive nature of the relationship, with words like 'stress me out,' 'kill me,' 'drag me down,' and 'fuck me up.' Despite the clear acknowledgment of the negative impact this relationship has on the protagonist, there's an admission of being unable to resist the allure, encapsulated in the line 'But I keep on coming back to you.' This contradiction suggests a deep emotional dependency, where love and hate coexist, making it difficult to break free.

The song also touches on the theme of advice from friends, who suggest moving on, but the protagonist finds themselves trapped, unable to heed this guidance. The addiction to 'drama' is likened to a drug, something that provides a temporary escape from pain but ultimately perpetuates the cycle of hurt. 'Back To You' is a candid portrayal of the struggle individuals face when caught in the grip of a toxic relationship, where the knowledge of what's best for oneself is at odds with the compulsion to return to the source of one's anguish.
