Back to Life is the ninth studio album by German singer Sandra, released in 2009 by Virgin Records.

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.
