[8] Digga D announced the release date of the mixtape and tracklist, and put out the fourth single "Facade" featuring Potter Payper on 10 August.
[10] The Guardian said the majority of the mixtape focuses "on storytelling or cleave to the pained, Auto-Tuned trapwave subgenre – for Digga, this stylistic breadth is a sign of artistic maturity.
"[2] GRM Daily said the mixtape "is both a heartfelt ode to his roots and a sincere portrayal of evolution and growth.
It’s fair to say that the notorious young star has had a tumultuous past and, with this project, he paints a picture of the crossroads that he has reached, torn between maturity and introspection, and his reckless, hot-headed youth.
As he settles into his early 20s, Digga is building a book of wisdom with lessons learnt from all corners of his colourful life; Back To Square One is a chapter of this coming-of-age story as it unfolds.
