Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter Ryan Leslie has returned to the music scene with his latest single, “Run It Back,” marking his first release in four years. The track, built on retro beeps and blips, showcases Leslie’s plea to navigate through challenging times in a relationship.
In the chorus, Leslie sings, “Baby, I never meant to do you like that / Maybe we should run it back / We did some things I know we probably regret / So maybe we should run it back.“ The song was initially previewed on Leslie’s social media accounts during the summer, with a link to mynewalbum.com, creating anticipation among fans.

“Run It Back” follows Leslie’s EP Fleurier Flows, which was independently released in 2019 on his label, Black Phoenix Enterprises. The EP features four tracks, and since then, fans have eagerly awaited new music from the accomplished artist.
While details about Leslie’s upcoming album, including the title and release date, remain undisclosed, he has directed fans to a dedicated website for updates. This single marks a significant return for Leslie, who hasn’t released a full-length album since his sixth and final album, MZRT (The Magnificently Zealous Renegade Takeover), in 2015.
