'''''Back Again... No Matter What''''' is the fourth compilation album released by Irish boy band [[Boyzone]]. The album was released on 13 October 2008. It became the band's sixth top-ten album in the United Kingdom, charting at No. 4 and staying in the top 100 for 43 non-consecutive weeks; it also peaked at No. 3 in Ireland.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://australian-charts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Boyzone&titel=Back+Again...+No+Matter+What&cat=a|title=australian-charts.com - Boyzone - Back Again... No Matter What|first=Steffen|last=Hung|website=australian-charts.com}}</ref> Three new recordings were made for the album: "[[Love You Anyway (Boyzone song)|Love You Anyway]]", "[[Better (Tom Baxter song)|Better]]" and "Can't Stop Thinking About You", the former two of which were both released as singles in promotion of the album. The three new songs were the first new material recorded by the band in nine years, and the last to be recorded before the death of [[Stephen Gately]]. The band's tour in the summer of 2008 was the tenth highest grossing set of concerts for that year.<ref>{{cite news |url= http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/ireland/article6591760.ece |title=Boyzone's UK tour flops - Times Online |work=[[TimesOnline]] |author=Jan Battles |date=28 June 2009 |publisher=[[News Intl]] |location=London |issn=0140-0460 |accessdate=12 September 2011}}{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>
