Rewind my jam
Old school, take it back
Throw up your hands
Rewind my jam
Old school, take it back
I remember the times we had
Before we got in this mess
I used to tell you everything
We were friends, it was the best
See I…miss the nights we talk and drive
Could last ‘till 2 a.m., it’s alright
Maybe if we start all over
Maybe it could happen again
I wanna go back… back
To the old you
No playing games that we do
And that I told you
We were better at back
When we know we didn't feel like we need to pretend
Baby let’s go back… back
To when I knew you
‘Cause if we took
Then I’m afraid when I lose you
We were better at back
When we know we didn't feel like we need to pretend
I wanna go back
Rewind my jam
Old school, take it back
Throw up your hands
Rewind my jam
Old school, take it back
Throw up your hands
You’ve been acting so weird like
I don’t even know who you are
Why you trying so hard to be
Something that you know you’re not
‘Cause it… seems like everything has changed
And we’ll never be the same
Just want to get back to when
We didn’t play these games
I wanna go back… back
To the old you
No playing games that we do
And that I told you
We were better at back
When we know we didn’t feel like we need to pretend
Baby let’s go back… back
To when I knew you
‘Cause if we took
Then I’m afraid when I lose you
We were better at back
When we know we didn’t feel like we need to pretend
I wanna go back
Rewind my jam
Old school, take it back
Throw up your hands
Rewind my jam
Old school, take it back
Throw up your hands
We gotta stop
What we are doing
I didn't want to fight
What are we proving
And know that we’re back
We’re on the right track
Let’s keep it moving
Stop
What we are doing
Didn't want to fight
What are we proving
And know that we’re back
We’re on the right track
Let’s keep it moving
I wanna go back… back
To the old you
No playing games that we do
I thought I told you
We were better at back (Way back… way back)
When we know we didn’t feel the need to pretend
Baby let’s go back… back
To when I knew you
‘Cause if we took
Then I’m afraid when I lose you
We were better at back
When we know we didn’t feel the need to pretend
I wanna go back
Rewind my jam…What we are doing
Oh, let’s go take it back…We don’t want to fight
Throw up your hands…What are we proving
Rewind my jam…And know that we’re back
Oh, let’s go take it back…We’re on the right track
Throw up your hands…Let’s keep it moving
I wanna go back
Rewind my jam…What we are doing
Oh, let’s go take it back…We don’t want to fight
Throw up your hands…What are we proving
Rewind my jam…And know that we’re back
Oh, let’s go take it back…We’re on the right track
Throw up your hands…Let’s keep it moving
You know we’re cool
Let’s just stop fighting
I’m tired of it
Let’s go back to the way it was
C’mon
In “Go Back,” Asia Monet reflects on a past relationship that has gone astray and expresses her desire to return to the way things were when they were friends, rather than playing games and pretending to be someone they're not. The title "Go Back" implies a yearning for the past, to rewind time to the good old days. She reminisces about their late-night conversations during which they would drive around talking for hours, and longs for a reconnect. Monet feels like it's harder to connect with her former friend, because he's changed so much, and she doesn't recognize him anymore. She wants to get back to the good old days where they could be themselves without pretending.
Through the use of repetition and simple language, Monet invites listeners to empathize with the struggle she is going through. She continuously says, “I wanna go back… back,” emphasizing her desire to return to the past. The lyrics “Stop/What we are doing/Didn’t want to fight/What are we proving/And know that we’re back/We’re on the right track/Let’s keep it moving” suggests that they need to communicate and work things out if they want to progress and go back to the way things used to be.

Let's go back to an earlier time
Old school, take it back
Back to the past when things were simpler and better
Throw up your hands
Celebrate that we're going back in time
I remember the times we had
Nostalgia for the past
Before we got in this mess
Current situation is not good
I used to tell you everything
There was trust and friendship before
We were friends, it was the best
Best when we were friends and honest with each other
See I…miss the nights we talk and drive
Miss spending time with each other, deep conversations
Could last ‘till 2 a.m., it’s alright
Time didn't matter when we hung out
Maybe if we start all over
A fresh start could help us get back to where we were
Maybe it could happen again
There is hope for rekindling our friendship again
You’ve been acting so weird like
Something has changed, there is tension and awkwardness
I don’t even know who you are
You've changed so much that I don't recognize you
Why you trying so hard to be

And we’ll never be the same
Things have been irreversibly altered, and we can't go back to exactly where we were
Just want to get back to when

We didn’t play these games
Things were simpler and more honest before

What we are doing
Our current behavior or conflict
I didn't want to fight

Questioning why we're even having these conflicts
And know that we’re back
Acknowledgment that we've returned to a better time
We’re on the right track
We're moving towards a better place or resolution
Let’s keep it moving
Let's continue onwards, don't stop
You know we’re cool
Assurance that everything is fine between us
