Back to Black by Amy Winehouse is featured in Funeral, the twenty-first episode of Season Two. It is sung by Santana.

Santana auditions with this song in an attempt to win the only featured solo at Nationals, but Jesse says the song lacks the emotional depth that Amy Winehouse gave to the song. This angers Santana and at the end of the performance she starts to bad-mouth Jesse until Will gets her to calm down. 

Lyrics[]

Santana:
He left no time to regret
Kept his lips wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to....

I go back to us

I loved you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black,
I go back to
I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black
