Back to Us is the tenth studio album by American country music trio Rascal Flatts. It was released on May 19, 2017 through Big Machine Records. The group produced the album themselves, save one track on the deluxe edition, which was produced by Busbee.[3] "Yours If You Want It" was released in January 2017 as the album's lead single, followed by the title track "Back to Us" in August of the same year. The album serves as a follow-up to 2014's Rewind. Back to Us earned the group their twelfth top-10 album on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. A deluxe edition of the album also includes the songs "Hands Talk," "Thieves," and "Roller Rink."

This is the group's first album not to be produced by Dann Huff since 2004's Feels Like Today. To date, it is also the band's last full-length studio album released before their disbandment in 2021 and subsequent reformation in 2024.

Content

Country singer Lauren Alaina features on the track "Are You Happy Now", which was co-written by all three members of Rascal Flatts.[4] "I Know You Won't" was previously recorded by Carrie Underwood on her 2007 album, Carnival Ride.[5]

Singles

The record's lead single, "Yours If You Want It", was released on January 9, 2017. One of the song's writers, Andrew Dorff, died shortly before its release.[6] Another single "Back to Us" was released on August 21, 2017.[7]

Commercial performance

Back to Us debuted at number 11 on the Billboard 200 chart dated June 10, 2017 with 30,000 album equivalent units (of which 25,000 were traditional album sales). The album also entered the Top Country Albums chart the same week at number 2, earning the group their twelfth top-10 album.[8] The album has sold 68,600 copies in the US as of December 2017.[9] The album did reach No. 1 on the Australian country album charts upon release.

Critical reception

The album received positive reviews. Lauren Laffer of Sounds Like Nashville spoke positively of the album, saying, "The 10 tracks within the project feature Gary LeVox’s distinctive warm and emotive vocals while Jay DeMarcus' production skills only amplify Joe Don Rooney's guitar chops. Rascal Flatts continue to prove their staying power with Back to Us."[10]
