The track is a powerful mix of gritty rock energy with blues undertones, reflecting Mark\u2019s roots in Southern Rock and his signature musical style.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\"It was so much fun composing 'Hell &amp; Back'! We found just the right mix of southern rock, bluesy grooves and outlaw vibes,\" says Mark. \"Jaren is a good friend of mine and an incredibly talented songwriter and performer. Our whole process was as relaxed and natural as the song sounds.\"<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\"I was so excited when Mark and his team got in touch and said he was coming to town to work,\" says Jaren. \"I jumped at the chance to write with him and made a great friend in the process.
