Can't Go Back (album)
''Can't Go Back'' is the eighth studio album released by the British singer Tanita Tikaram. Released in September 2012 through Ear Music (an imprint of German-based label Edel Music), the album marked Tikaram's first album in 7 years, after 2005's '' Sentimental''. Background Taking another seven-year gap after her last record, Tikaram said she wanted to record an album that mixed her new-found love for Americana, Motown and Chess music, and that it took her that long to record it because she had a couple of false starts with different producers that did not work, before eventually setting with Paul Bryan. She co-wrote all the songs on the album with her longtime guitarist Mark Creswell, and recorded the ten songs that form the album in Los Angeles with producer Paul Bryan in just 6 days, in July 2010. Grant Lee Phillips has guest vocals on two songs on the album. In July 2014, Tikaram made available as a free download an unreleased song from those sessions. The track, titled ...

UK Albums Chart
The Official Albums Chart is a list of albums ranked by physical and digital sales and (from March 2015) audio streaming in the United Kingdom. It was published for the first time on 22 July 1956 and is compiled every week by the Official Charts Company (OCC) on Fridays (previously Sundays). It is broadcast on BBC Radio 1 (top 5) and found on the OCC website as a Top 100 or on UKChartsPlus as a Top 200, with positions continuing until all sales have been tracked in data only available to industry insiders. However, even though number 100 was classed as a hit album (as in the case of The Guinness Book of British Hit Albums) in the 1980s until January 1989, since the compilations were removed this definition was changed to Top 75 with follow-up books such as The Virgin Book of British Hit Albums book only including this data. As of 2021, the OCC still only tracks how many UK Top 75s album hits and how many weeks in Top 75 albums chart each artist has achieved. To qualify for the Offi ...

I used to have this desire to be by myself all the time. You need to be reflected in the people you care for and who love you. I used to think there was this ideal place where you'd find you belonged. But as I get older I realise that place already exists in the people who care about you. And that's what the song is about." The song features backing vocals by Jennifer Warnes. Tikaram revealed to ''The Morning Call'' in 1991: "She came to a gig in Los Angeles.
