"Back to Love"
Song

"Back to Love" is a song from the British R&B singer and rapper Estelle, released as the second UK single from her third studio album All of Me. It was released in the UK on December 4, 2011.

Background

"Back to Love" was announced as the second UK single from All of Me on 25 October 2011. It was subsequently released on 4 December 2011, with a radio mix from Mikey J (producer for Kano, Mz Bratt, The Mitchell Brothers and Roll Deep). The music video for "Back to Love" features the original version of the song, which was produced by Jerry 'Wonder' Duplessis.

In an interview with Factory78, Estelle explained the meaning behind the song. She explained, "Well you guys know, like I said, that I write from realness so when I'm singing "Back to Love", that's a real experience. You know, finding my way back to being happy despite having my heart broken. Despite everything going wrong in love, finding my way back to loving myself and just keeping it, what's the word? Non-spiteful, not mean, being an adult about it and loving yourself above everything else because that's number one, so that's what "Back to Love" is about."

Music video

The music video for the song was directed by and premiered on January 18, 2012 on her YouTube account. The video depicts Estelle and her former flame saying goodbye to their relationship. The couple are packing their belongings and looking through old photographs in preparation for moving out of the appartment they shared together. Though she relates that their relationship has changed and cannot be fixed, there are no hard feelings and she is ready to love someone else again.

Estelle was interviewed and performed "Back to Love" on Lorraine during the release week, on 6 December 2011.
