"Boys Back Home" is a song by American singer-songwriters Dylan Marlowe and Dylan Scott. It was released on December 4, 2023 as the lead single from Marlowe's debut studio album, Mid-Twenties Crisis.[1] It also appeared as a bonus track on the re-issue of Scott's second studio album, Livin' My Best Life.[2] Marlowe co-wrote the song with Seth Ennis and Joe Fox, with the latter also handling the track's production.
Content
[edit]Marlowe co-wrote "Boys Back Home" with Seth Ennis and Joe Fox after experiencing homesickness following his move to Nashville, Tennessee and missing his friends from "back home".[3] The idea to cut the song as a duet with Dylan Scott came about when Marlowe opened for Scott on tour.[3] Originally recorded in 2021, its release was delayed due to Scott's Livin' My Best Life, and Marlowe had to later re-record his vocals when the label decided to issue it as his debut single instead of "Record High".[4]
It was issued to country radio with an immediate impact date of December 4, 2023, tying as the most-added song that week at the format with 17 first-week adds.[5]
Music video
[edit]The music video for "Boys Back Home" premiered on January 30, 2024.[6] In it, Marlowe and Scott are shown performing the song in open land in Middle Tennessee among a group of boys off-roading and drinking around a bonfire.[3] Director Tristan Cusick referred to the video as a "redneck rager on steroids", and features cameos from fellow country artists Tayler Holder and Russell Dickerson.[7]
