Maren Morris tributes a love that can’t be shaken in “To Hell & Back,” dropping a powerful new single just days after becoming a mother.
Filled with deep-feeling lyrics about the kind of love that creates its own courage, the delicate track features a sophisticated roots sound — built on atmospheric guitars, piano, string-bending steel and Morris’ angelic vocal. It’s the third single from Morris’ award-winning Girl album, and it arrives alongside a major milestone in the Texas native’s life.
Having just welcomed birth of baby boy Hayes Andrew on March 23, the impassioned ballad now feels like a celebration of the new family she and husband Ryan Hurd have created.
“You didn’t save me / You didn’t think I needed saving / You didn’t change me / You didn’t think I needed changing / My wings are frayed and what’s left of my halo’s black / Lucky for me, your kind of heaven’s been to Hell and back / To Hell and back,” goes the vividly colored chorus.
