Witch Prophet has returned with a new single. "Back 2 You" finds the acclaimed artist teaming with Winnipeg's Boy Golden and Toronto's Lydia Persaud, and you can hear it below.

The luxuriant harmonies of the Boy Golden-produced "Back 2 You," arriving today via Witch Prophet's Heart Lake Records, are an ideal soundtrack for the arrival of cuffing season.

It's not like one-half of one of Canadian music's cutest couples would ever lead you astray. Hear Witch Prophet sing, "The key you hold / Unlocks my heart / Twin soul to soul / Never to part," and you'll be longing to find your way back to that person in no time.

In her own words, Witch Prophet explains, "'Back 2 You' is about recognizing who brings out the best in you and not blocking your blessings by running from them. As corny as it sounds, home really is where the heart is. This song was my first time working with Boy Golden and Lydia, and it was as smooth and magical as the harmonies on the track. I'm a big fan of them both, honoured for the opportunity to have worked together."

"Back 2 You" follows Witch Prophet's 2021 single "Shine," which arrived last year along with a deluxe edition of her Prism Prize-nominated, Polaris Music Prize shortlisted album DNA Activation. The LP was among Exclaim!'s Best Albums of 2020.

Later this month, Witch Prophet will perform at M for Montreal 2022.
