Back to the River (song)

It was released to active rock radio in the United States on June 13, 2017, as the third and final single from the band's third studio album, Who You Selling For (2016).

The song was first written by frontwoman Taylor Momsen and guitarist Ben Phillips in 2015, during the last leg of the band's Going to Hell Tour.

The band recorded the song live together in the studio, but left certain sections open for additional lead guitar work to be added later on.

The song's southern rock sound, along with the members collective appreciation of the genre, lead the band to decide to reach out to Warren Haynes to play on the track,[2][3] previously known for working with The Allman Brothers and Govt Mule.

[4] The song was described as having elements of southern rock[5] and blues[6] genre of music.
