"Back to the Moon" is a song by American rapper Gunna, released on June 16, 2023 from his fourth studio album, A Gift & a Curse. It was produced by Kenny Stuntin and Sim.
"Back to the Moon" is a trap song featuring a "squealing" guitar in the background, which Robin Murray of Clash described as carrying an 80s appeal.[1]
Alexander Cole of HotNewHipHop commented that the song was one of the "stronger" tracks from A Gift & a Curse and "further proof that the music world was in need of some new Gunna music."[2] Similarly, Hamza Riaz of Mic Cheque considered it among the best tracks from the album.[3] Reviewing the album for Vulture, Paul Thompson criticized the song, describing it as one "where a series of otherwise compelling thoughts about Gunna's newly isolated state seem disconnected, his blunt, seesawing cadence acting like little crescendos that ramp up and peter out." In addition, he cited it as one of the tracks whose beats "make Gunna songs sound like interchangeable TV-sync fodder".[4]
An official music video was released alongside the song. It shows Gunna rapping on the moon with a blunt in his hand at certain points.
