Background "Back End" was among the first songs that Finesse2tymes released following his release from prison. It became a viral hit on the video-sharing platform TikTok in the late summer of 2022, with creators using the song in videos which address double standards and inequality and directing attention to the lyrics "It's cool when they do it (It's cool, huh?) / it's a problem when I do it, fuck 'em". In January 2023, Finesse2tymes told Uproxx, "I knew this song was gonna be what it was gonna be when a number-one sensation on TikTok reposted it. It felt like success. I knew I was going to the top and it felt like I accomplished what I set out to accomplish in 90 days."
Live performances On December 15, 2022, Finesse2tymes performed the song on Uproxx Sessions.
