Can't Go Back is the eighth studio album released by the British singer Tanita Tikaram. Released in September 2012 through Ear Music (an imprint of German-based label Edel Music), the album marked Tikaram's first album in 7 years, after 2005's Sentimental.

Tikaram co-wrote all the songs on the album with her longtime guitarist Mark Creswell, and recorded the ten songs that form the album in Los Angeles with producer Paul Bryan in just 6 days, in July 2010. Grant Lee Phillips has guest vocals on two songs on the album.

The first single of the album, "Dust on My Shoes", was released as a digital download several months prior to the album, in May 2012.

A special edition of the album includes a second CD with songs from Tikaram's back catalogue in an acoustic version. Most of these songs had been available on Tikaram's website as podcasts over the past two years.
