Suki Waterhouse, Back in Love | Song Review

Talented English singer-songwriter Suki Waterhouse is happy again, thanks to being “Back In Love.” She eats on this fun, well-rounded single.

Have truer words ever been spoken? Love hits differently, PERIOD. English singer, songwriter, and actress Suki Waterhouse (Alice Suki Waterhouse) came back strong in 2026. What fueled her? Perhaps it was that power of love, judging by the title of her single, “Back in Love”. Waterhouse composed “Back in Love” with Jules Apollinaire and Findlay. Apollinaire produced it.

“Back in Love” is a bop from the start. Suki Waterhouse brings the vocals and personality consistently. The songwriting is also sweet, including the likes of “Loneliness is a feather bed / Sleeping on the couch instead,” and “Oh, you’re swinging to my body in time /… You know it’s been a hard day’s night.” Ooh-wee!  Of course, the chorus is where Suki’s bread is buttered:

“Oh, I’m loving my lust for life

Turning the dark to light

Happiness hits me when

I’m back in love again

Back to jazz on the radio

Back to beaches, away we go

Taking the long way home

Back in love again.”

Sweet! Also, sweet is the musical accompaniment supporting Suki.  Jules and Findlay hold down on the standard instrumentation (rhythm section, programming, etc.), while Sam Ewens accentuates with those exuberant, biting horns. If “Back in Love” is, indeed, the soundtrack to being back in love and being happy again, it is a fitting one.  I say it far too often, but Suki Waterhouse ate and left no crumbs on this one!
