"Back Down South" (also called "Southbound") is a song by American rock band Kings of Leon from their 2010 album Come Around Sundown.

[3] William Goodman of Spin described the video as "an advert for their country way of life.

"[4] Scott Shelter from PopCrush gave the song an 8/10 grade, commenting, "With a dash of twang and an intentional down-home appeal, ‘Back Down South’ wouldn't sound out of place at a country music festival or awards show.

It's a welcome change of pace from the arena-rock direction of the band's recent music.

"[5] Kings of Leon first performed the song during their summer tour 2010.
