going back to

Heading there again

Going back to signals a return to a previous topic, time, or practice.

It often reintroduces something mentioned earlier: Going back to what you said about the budget...

It can mark temporal origins: This tradition goes back to the Middle Ages.

Or it indicates resuming a former state: I'm going back to my old job.
