Write Me Back is the eleventh studio album by American R&B singer, songwriter, and producer R. Kelly. Released on June 25, 2012, by RCA Records, it was written and produced primarily by Kelly as the follow-up to his 2010 album Love Letter, with recording taking place at Sylvester Stone Studios, The Chocolate Factory (both in Chicago), and MilkBoy The Studio (in Philadelphia). Expanding on Love Letter's traditional R&B mode, the album incorporates musical influences from Philadelphia soul and Chicago stepping in songs about love, its redemptive power, and its complications.
Debuting at number five on the Billboard 200, Write Me Back registered sales of 68,000 copies in its first week and went on to chart for 16 more weeks, eventually reaching more than 141,000 copies sold in the US. It was promoted with the release of three singles, including "Share My Love" and "Feelin' Single". Critically, Write Me Back was generally well received, earning praise for its musical arrangements and Kelly's vocal stylings in particular.
