Be Right Back Tracklist
Be Right Back is the highly anticipated sophomore project by British singer-songwriter Jorja Smith.
During an October 2020 interview with Kenyan comedian Elsa Majimbo, Smith seemed to confirm that the project was complete, revealing she hasn’t been listening to any of her old music because:
I’m currently banging the new one. I can’t wait for you lot to hear what I’ve been writing.
The lead single, “Addicted,” was released March 10, 2021, and was quickly followed by the second single, “Gone,” released a little over a month later.
According to an April 2021 Complex UK article, Be Right Back is not considered to be the studio follow-up to 2018’s Lost & Found, as explained by Jorja:
It’s called Be Right Back because it’s just something I want my fans to have right now. This isn’t an album and these songs wouldn’t have made it. If I needed to make these songs, then someone needs to hear them too

What have the artists said about the album?
Jorja Smith:I was actually going to call this This Is Not My Second Album. Because these are songs that I love and I’ve written in the past two years, but I’m not yet ready to do ‘the album’. When it’s time, I want to tour that album. And also: I know that there’s another level that I can get to—musically, creatively and all other aspects
Music’s great. It’s a little escape, and that’s why I gave the project this title. I just wanted to dip in and dip out. But I want it to be a safe escape for my fans—for right now—because I know they miss me.
Anyone who listens will hear it differently to what it actually means in the first place. That’s what I love.
I only dropped my first album three years ago. And now I’ve been able to take in everything I’ve done in the last three years. I’m actually able to look at [plaques and records on] my walls like, ‘Oh my god, I did this.’ I appreciate everything, but I miss my fans, and I miss [doing] shows. The last year and this year has been so tough. I wanted to give them something.
