Background

The album was recorded in New York and largely produced by Jens Gad. Most of the songs were co-written by his younger brother, Toby Gad. As opposed to the preceding album, The Art of Love, which was created during a difficult time in Sandra's life, material on Back to Life has more upbeat and optimistic feel.[1] Back to Life spawned two singles, "In a Heartbeat" and a duet with Thomas Anders, "The Night Is Still Young", which were moderately successful in Germany. The album itself was a top 40 chart success on the German albums chart.
