"Boys Back Home" is a song by American singer-songwriters Dylan Marlowe and Dylan Scott. It was released on December 4, 2023 as the lead single from Marlowe's debut studio album, Mid-Twenties Crisis.

Marlowe co-wrote the song with Seth Ennis and Joe Fox, with the latter also handling the track's production.
Content
Marlowe co-wrote "Boys Back Home" with Seth Ennis and Joe Fox after experiencing homesickness following his move to Nashville, Tennessee and missing his friends from "back home". The idea to cut the song as a duet with Dylan Scott came about when Marlowe opened for Scott on tour. Originally recorded in 2021, its release was delayed due to Scott's Livin' My Best Life, and Marlowe had to later re-record his vocals when the label decided to issue it as his debut single instead of "Record High".
It was issued to country radio with an immediate impact date of December 4, 2023, tying as the most-added song that week at the format with 17 first-week adds.
Music video
The music video for "Boys Back Home" premiered on January 30, 2024. In it, Marlowe and Scott are shown performing the song in open land in Middle Tennessee among a group of boys off-roading and drinking around a bonfire. Director Tristan Cusick referred to the video as a "redneck rager on steroids", and features cameos from fellow country artists Tayler Holder and Russell Dickerson.
