...Back 2 The Lotus is the twelfth and final track on Prince's 33rd studio album Lotusflow3r, and is a bookend to the album's first track From The Lotus....
Recording dates and studio are unknown. Prince has stated that some tracks on the Lotusflow3r date back to 3121 recording sessions - as this song features Michael B. and Sonny T., it is possible that at least the musical backdrop of this track comes from their late 2005 recording session, or one of the subsequent sessions, but no information has been verified.
Lyrics included in the track, stating "From the lotus flower..." were sampled in 3121 (released three years prior), supporting the theory that this track (and its counterpart From The Lotus...) was were recorded in 2005. It is not known if further work was done on the track later.
