“back at it” is the introduction of Gunna’s full-length return to music, a Gift & a Curse. It follows his infamous Alford Plea in the YSL racketeering case that freed him from jail.

Gunna uses this track as an opportunity to address his life after being freed, returning to his usual activity. Amongst these activities includes smoking marijuana, which he compares to crack cocaine due to him being sober for over eight months. He contrasts his freedom with his incarceration, in which he felt trapped. This contrast blends well with the idea of a Gift & a Curse, juxtaposing triumphs with pains.
