Back Down to One is the debut solo album by Jani Lane, lead vocalist of the American Hard rock band Warrant. The album was first released in 2002 featuring a band Lane assembled composed of guitarist Matt Cleary, ex-Defcon bass player Mark Mathews and drummer Adam Mercer. The bulk of the album material would be co-composed by his erstwhile Warrant colleague Keri Kelli. The record would be picked up for a European licence by the British Z Records label. Shortly after the albums release Lane was admitted to a rehab center for alcohol and drug-related exhaustion[2].

Following rehab and nearly two years of arguments and disagreements with Warrant band members, Lane officially quit Warrant in January 2004, and after a few acting roles and appearances on compilations, attempted to restart his own version of Warrant. Although "Back Down to One" was credited as a solo release the singer assembled a new touring band for the album subsequently titled "JANI LANE'S WARRANT" and included Lizzy Borden guitarist Dario Lorina, Chad MacDonald on bass and Troy Patrick Farrell on drums. Unfortunately, his first batch of solo shows, in Michigan, would be stopped by legal action from his former band mates objecting to the use of the Warrant band logo on his posters[3]. Lane continued touring without the Warrant name and logo.

In 2006 "Back Down to One" was reissued and finally released in the US.
