Ahead of their upcoming LP FOREVER, Charly Bliss dropped their last single from the album with pop-infused “Back There Now.”
The track is the fourth release of the album following “Nineteen,” “Waiting For You,” and “Calling You Out.” Featuring upbeat synths and upbeat rhythms, the song’s message is heavier than it first sounds and serves as a reflection of Eva Hendricks and some of the things she did in her past.
“One of the craziest things about getting older is growing away from the things you did when you were young(er) and stupid(er),” Hendricks explains. “But, then I’ll read something or hear a song that takes me right back to the dramatic insanity of my early twenties love life, and I’m forced to acknowledge the freaky glutton for pain and heartache who’s still somewhere inside of me, no matter how deeply I’ve buried her.”

Though created on a tight budget, Dan Shure says their limited resources didn’t stop the group from having the time of their lives. Singing in the car and dancing in a plane, the group channels the pop musicality of the track into a joyful visual.
“People sometimes think that indie musicians are rich and famous when, in reality, the members of Charly Bliss all have other jobs to support ourselves,” he says. “In the video, you see us on these various modes of transportation, and you’re not quite sure what the destination is… but we’re moving! This video was SO fun to direct as a member of the band because we got to both make fun of these tropes of expensive pop videos, while also kind of living that fantasy. It feels very Charly Bliss to me!”
