Louis Tomlinson delivered a stunning, long-awaited live performance of “Back To You” with Bebe Rexha and Digital Farm Animals on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
Louis and Bebe had it all down, from the sick stage decorated in the song’s lyrics to the coordinated red, black, and white outfits.
This moment was especially big for Louis and his fans – who have deemed themselves Louies – because it was his first big debut as a solo artist. Last year, he released the #1 hit pop-EDM single “Just Hold On” with Steve Aoki, but “Back To You” is the start of his journey as an individual artist ready to soar off the charts and take on the world.
Ohhhhh shit ! @BebeRexha sounds so fucking good in rehearsals. Got a good feeling about tonight !

The two have been rehearsing the past couple days and hyping up their fans with excitement. From teasing tweets to this endearing video that Bebe posted on her Instagram story of her and Louis behind the scenes:

The performance was electrifying, exciting, and everything we expected it to be.
Their first ever live performance of “Back To You” together definitely made its mark for not only the fans, but the 2 million viewers that tuned in worldwide. Louis and Bebe served stunning looks, amazing vocals, and an overall unforgettable performance.
The performance began with a solo spotlight on Bebe on top of a jaw-dropping stage set-up designed by Lee Lodge as Louis sat on top of the drum-set branded with his iconic “LT” logo. Of course, Louis took to the stage with confidence when it was his turn to shine. Bebe and Louis stole the hearts of the crowd, the fans, and the worldwide viewers with that epic live deliverance of “Back To You.”
That really did feel amazing . Can't wait for you all to see it ! Thank you @jimmyfallon for having us
