'Back Like That' is the second single by American rapper Ghostface Killah from his critically acclaimed fifth solo album 'Fishscale' (2006). The song features R&B singer Ne-Yo and has become Ghostface's highest charting solo single on the Billboard Hot 100 and his generally second highest charting song after Kendrick Lamar's Purple Hearts where Ghostface is featured on. It 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 & Ne-Yo was produced and later included on Ghostface's sixth album 'More Fish'. In 2009, Ghostface performed the song with Chrisette Michele at VH1's 6th Annual Hip Hop Honors ceremony.

Music video



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..."

Remix



The official remix featuring Kanye West & Ne-Yo was produced and later included on Ghostface's sixth album 'More Fish' & his eighth album 'Ghostdini: Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City'.

A second version of the remix has a new verse by Ne-Yo, different from his verse of the main remix, was included on Ghostface's compilation album 'GhostDeini the Great'.

An all-female remix of the song made by DJ Cocoa Chanelle, Da Brat and Lil' Mo was featured in the Golden Globe-winning motion picture 'Precious' (2009).
