"Pullin' Me Back" is a song by American rapper Chingy. It's the first single off his third album Hoodstar (2006).

The song peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it his fourth and final top ten single. It peaked at number 1 on the R&B chart, where it was his first number-one single.

The music video features America's Next Top Model cycle 3 runner-up Yaya DaCosta.
