Background

In a press release, Fodera explained: "'Turn Back Time' was born out of a late night session with me & Diplo. I was on tour in LA at the time, playing some amazing shows, meeting some really cool people and feeling super inspired by my surroundings. I played Turn Back Time in some of my last live shows and the response was so crazy, we knew we had to release it!"[4]

Composition

Nina Chiang of EDMTunes explained that the track includes "old-school piano riffs, plus a sexy deep bassline", and described it is "a catchy, deep house track."[5] The song is written in the key of B♭ Minor, with a tempo of 124 beats per minute.[6]
