Like a morning painted in Los Angeles pastels… The Marías return with “Back to Me”, their new single released on April 4, 2025. But this time, they sound a little more alone, a little more bare. Following Submarine, this track drifts through the cooled ashes of a relationship like a melody tiptoeing across pages long turned.
Back to Me – The Last Breath in a Cooling Room
"Back to Me" captures that strange quiet after a breakup — not quite pain, not quite peace. Just… the beginning of getting used to it. María Zardoya’s voice hovers just above a whisper here: restrained, direct, and unexpectedly fragile. According to Zardoya, the song came together quickly, but its presence lingers — like the final line of a dream, still echoing into morning.
An Echo from the Depths of Submarine
Their previous album Submarine dove deep, with lush production and emotional gravity. Back to Me, by contrast, isn’t a continuation — it feels more like a shadow left behind. The instrumentation is stripped down, the beats gentler, and that restraint makes it all the more piercing. Nothing is overdone — which is exactly why everything lands just right.
With “Back to Me”, The Marías don’t seem to be announcing a new era — it’s more like filming a closing scene. It doesn’t try to dazzle. It doesn’t need to. This is a farewell song that leaves a mark. Not meant to be heard — meant to be felt.
