Trainor promoted Takin' It Back with public appearances and televised performances on programs such as The Today Show[7] and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.[8] The album was supported by two singles, "Bad for Me" and "Made You Look".[9][10] The latter peaked at number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Trainor's first song to enter its top 20 since 2016, and reached the top 10 in other countries.[11] Reviewers thought the album effectively showcased Trainor's maturity and growth over her career as well as her musicality, but they were divided on whether it was a progression from her earlier work. Takin' It Back debuted at number 16 on the US Billboard 200 and reached the top 40 in other countries.[12] A deluxe edition of the album, supported by the single "Mother", was released on March 10, 2023.[13]
