Going Back is the eighth and most recent solo studio album by English singer-songwriter and drummer Phil Collins, released on 13 September 2010 by Atlantic Records.[1][2] His first solo album in eight years, it features covers of 1960s Motown and soul standards.

Going Back made an impact on the charts worldwide, becoming a top five album in 16 countries. It became Collins's first UK number one studio album since 1993's Both Sides. Two editions were released; a standard edition with 18 tracks and a limited Ultimate Edition with 25 tracks and a DVD with various bonus content.[3] Exclusive versions available on Amazon and iTunes were also available. Collins promoted the album with a seven-date tour in the summer of 2010. Although Collins said Going Back was to be his final project, and announced his retirement in 2011, he resumed his career in 2015.[4] However, it remains his most recent studio album to date. In 2016, Going Back was reissued as The Essential Going Back with fewer studio tracks, but additional live recordings and updated artwork.[5][6]
