Background

The release of "Back to Your Heart" was announced by Goodrem in July 2023, scheduled for the following month under her own record imprint, ATLED Records. [2]

In an interview with Retro Pop Magazine, Goodrem discussed the conception of her new music, and said "that last album was so intense and heavy; it was me at the piano asking, 'Where do we come from? How did I get here? What do I need to do to heal and work through?'… It was a real deep dive", but that while touring with the Backstreet Boys in 2022 she was "surrounded by so much fun, which gave me a sense of freedom in what I wanted to do now!". [3]

Critical reception

"Back to Your Heart" was positively received upon release, with the Official Charts Company describing the song as "a souring behemoth bursting with early nineties nostalgia" and comparing it to the music of Celine Dion and Tina Turner. [4] Cassandra Green of Marie Claire Australia wrote that the song "brings an 80s energy and is a real belter: the kind of anthem you can’t help but want to sing along to in the car, in the shower and into your hairbrush." [1]

Women in Pop said "The song is an anthemic, uplifting pop-rock track with a classic, addictive ‘na-na-na’ melody that quickly lodges itself in your head. Goodrem's voice is, as always, pure magic as she sings of never giving up and always trust what your heart tells you" [5]

Chart performance

"Back to Your Heart" entered the UK Singles Downloads Chart at number 25 on 11 August 2023. [6]
