Programmatically created SKLabelNode not visible : SpriteKit

Here's a code to my back button using SpriteKit, Swift 3

var backButton = SKLabelNode()
backButton.text = "Back"
backButton.name = "backbutton"
backButton.position = CGPoint(x: self.frame.minX + 40, y: self.frame.maxY - 40)
backButton.fontColor = SKColor.red
backButton.fontSize = 30
self.addChild(backButton)

Probably you did wrong something like zPosition, position or where you add your label ( in what method and in what parent). Check out this example to see your label:

override func didMove(to view: SKView) {
     var backButton = SKLabelNode(fontNamed: "Arial")
     backButton.text = "Back"
     backButton.fontSize = 30
     backButton.name = "backbutton"
     backButton.fontColor = SKColor.red
     self.addChild(backButton) // self is GameScene (an SKScene)
     backButton.zPosition = 1
     backButton.position = CGPoint(x: self.frame.midX, y: self.frame.midY)
}

Try setting label's alpha to 1, and Z position to any number:

backButton.alpha = 1
backButton.zPosition = 1

Hope this helps.
