Last year, The Marías released Submarine. Now, on April 4th, 2025, the group is back with their new single Back to Me and its b-side Nobody New.
“Submarine dealt with the raw emotions of going through a heartbreak right after it happened,” The Marías explained in an interview with Stereogum. “Back to Me is what comes after — the breakup actually happens when an ex moves on to someone new. It deals with the emotions that come along with that. Even though in the end you may not want them back at all, in the moment, that’s all you want to relieve the pain.”
The band shared that Back to Me was written just a couple of months after Submarine was completed. “We were jamming in the studio as a band, and the guys were experimenting with some new synth sounds and ominous chords,” María Zardoya recalled. “I immediately went into the vocal booth, and the melody and lyrics came to me faster than any other song. It felt like divine intervention. After finishing it, it felt like the start of a new era beyond Submarine. Consider it an introduction to a new world.”
Produced by Josh Conway, Back to Me sets the tone for their next chapter. Meanwhile, Nobody New — produced by Conway and María — features Benny Blanco as a co-writer. The Marías previously teamed up with Blanco and Selena Gomez on the track “Ojos Tristes,” making this a natural continuation of their collaboration.
