"Back from the Dead" was Halestorm's first shot from the fifth album that shares its name, released as a single on August 18, 2021, well ahead of the full record in 2022. Frontwoman Lzzy Hale and guitarist Joe Hottinger had gone back through a batch of pre-pandemic demos, decided they no longer matched the mood of 2020, and started over from scratch. Hale has described the result as a mental-health song about surviving in something other than the physical sense, built to be yelled once the world reopened, and a blunt announcement that the band was back.
Nick Raskulinecz produced it, with co-writer Scott Stevens co-producing and Chris Lord-Alge mixing. Lzzy sings lead and plays guitar alongside Hottinger, Josh Smith takes the bass and Arejay Hale the drums, and by November 2021 it had climbed to the top of Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart.
