A video clip of Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign listening to “Back To Me” surfaced via media outlet The Shade Room on October 2, 2023.

Quavo was re-added to this track by January 31, 2024, when North West and her friends donned merchandise with the Vultures tracklist, but was once again removed at the Vultures listening party.

Something is holding me back
In the lyrics of "Back to Me" by Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign, the song delves into themes of love, heartbreak, desire, and the pursuit of beauty. The opening verses express a sense of longing and attachment, highlighting the depth of feelings towards a significant other. There is a sense of inevitability in the relationship, with the expectation that the person will come back in the morning. The juxtaposition of emotions - frozen heart, glowing presence - creates a complex emotional landscape.
As the song progresses, it transitions into a more assertive and boastful tone, with references to material wealth, physical appearance, and power dynamics in relationships. The lyrics touch on insecurity, jealousy, and the need for validation, particularly in the context of the rap industry where image and status play a significant role. The mention of "beautiful, big-titty, butt-naked women" conveys a superficial view of attraction and desire that is often portrayed in popular culture.
The repetition of the phrase "just don't fall out of the sky, you know?" serves as a refrain, emphasizing the rarity and value placed on certain attributes or individuals. There is a sense of exclusivity and entitlement in the way beauty and desirability are framed in the lyrics, reflecting societal norms and expectations around physical appearance and success. The imagery of women falling from the sky conveys a sense of fantasy and unattainability, further emphasizing the idealized nature of beauty in the song.
Overall, "Back to Me" explores the complexities of love, desire, and self-worth in a world where external appearances and material possessions often hold sway. The juxtaposition of vulnerability and bravado, longing and possession, adds depth to the lyrical narrative, inviting listeners to reflect on the intricacies of relationships and the pursuit of perfection in a world that often values superficial qualities over true connection and understanding. The song captures a mix of emotions and societal pressures that individuals navigate in their pursuit of love, acceptance, and fulfillment.

The lyrics carry more meaning than the apparent nonsense they seem to be.
I caught a connection between the lyrics of “Back To Me” and “Runaway”.
The Runaway film follows Kanye and his “beautiful butt-naked woman” from another planet that falls out the sky into his life. On “Back To Me” , Kanye shows his growth by acknowledging this to just be a 'fantasy' and not reality.
It isn't as simple as his younger self made it appear to be, they don't just fall out the sky. Life is more complicated than that.
The chorus lyrically aligns with runaway too "in the morning you'll be running back to me" in contrast to
"runaway from me baby" and in reference to the free Hoover concert where Kanye sang for Kim to "run right back to me".
Once again, this serves as the antithesis to the fantasy life Kanye once lived and shows his personal growth.
He now knows how valuable women are in his life, they don't just fall out the sky, and he doesn't want them to runaway any more.
This is further emphasised by the "Yeezy how you doing huh" lyrics which paint Ye to be in a place of self reflection with coming to terms with the reality of this.
