"Back 2 Good" is a song by Matchbox 20, released as the fifth single from their multi-platinum debut album Yourself or Someone Like You. The song was written by lead singer Rob Thomas and producer Matt Serletic, and is about a romantic relationship that seems to have reached its end, much to the chagrin of the singer.

"Back 2 Good" was the band's biggest hit song on the US Billboard Hot 100 from Yourself or Someone Like You—peaking at number 24 in 1999—because their more successful prior hits, "Push" and "3AM", were not allowed to chart due to not receiving commercial releases in the US. The chart rules were changed in December 1998 to allow songs to chart from airplay alone, making "Back 2 Good" their first single able to receive a full chart run. In Canada, the song peaked at number 11 on the RPM Top Singles chart, becoming the band's fourth top-20 hit.
