Somo | - Back To The Start

: Proving the song's timelessness, a " Reborn " version was released as recently as April 2026 , produced by long-time collaborators Mick Schultz and Cody Tarpley . Lyricism and Meaning: The Cycle of the "Rush"

: The song originally appeared on SoMo's first mixtape, My Life , released in September 2012 .

Decades after its first iteration, the song resonates because it touches on a universal truth: sometimes we aren't ready to let go, even when we know we're just circling back to the beginning. Whether you're listening to the original mixtape version or the newest " Reborn " cut, the "magic" remains the same.

"And we live for that rush / And we rush for that love / And we love for that one / That just straps up your heart / And you're back to the start again"

Musically, "Back to the Start" highlights why SoMo stood out during the early 2010s R&B revival. Unlike the "uptight" and overly experimental sounds of some of his contemporaries, SoMo’s work on his debut album felt refreshing because it was unashamedly focused on emotion and vocal talent.
