"Back When" is a song written by Stan Lynch, Stephony Smith, and Jeff Stevens and recorded by American country music singer Tim McGraw.
"Back When" is an up-tempo song in which the narrator states how he misses the past and how the current slangs were not used for drug and sexual reference, but the objects themselves.
Co-writer Stephony Smith told The Boot that she went into the kitchen to make breakfast one day and saw a snake on the floor.
'"[1] Kevin John Coyne, reviewing the song for Country Universe, gave it a positive rating.
He also added that McGraws "vocal performance is just over-twanged enough to suggest he’s making fun of the sentimentality that he’s celebrating.
