A Thousand Horses charged out of the gate when they released their debut country single “Smoke” in 2015. The mid-tempo ballad about an addictive relationship climbed to Number One and teed up the band to be Nashville stars: they did TV, toured with Darius Rucker, played Bonnaroo.

Penned by Cary Barlowe, Niko Moon, Shay Mooney (of Dan + Shay) and Fred Wilhelm, “Back to Life” glides on a gently swinging rhythm and lists a series of reasons large and small that create a sense of renewal in love, from dancing around the living room to falling asleep five minutes into a movie. “She puts that beat in my chest,...
