Back 2 U is a highly energetic song with a catchy tone and melody that bops heads. As the latest hit from The Mustard, the band takes influence from original rock hits and moves towards traditional songs with a more guitar-based act. Hailing from Bracknell, England, the group is led by guitarist Ollie Foord. This song was written by him in 2021 as an ode to his partner Sophie Foord, embodying the feeling of reflection and clarity in a musical track reminiscent of the romantic 90s indie feel.
The track starts with high energy and stays consistent until the end. Opening with a drum riff and guitar licks instantly catching attention. As the first verse begins, the song becomes slower and starts to focus more on the reflective lyrics brought about by Ollie. The song has an interesting dynamic that picks up and slows down continuously keeping it fresh with each listen and symbolizing the ups and downs of life. The Mustard shows that not only are the instruments incredibly crunchy and satisfying, but pairing them with reflective and relatable lyrics turns it into a great hit worthy of the charts. The band also innovates by blending traditional band-style music with modern elements, such as keys and electronic sounds, thus separating itself from the usual acts by having high-energy and inviting sounds appealing to audiences. Aside from Back 2 U, The Mustard also features amazing hits such as When the World Is Your Home and Tottenham Hale.
