Songfacts®:

  • "Coming Home" is a sweet and introspective track about longing for home and the comfort of loved ones. Beabadoobee wrote the song while in a hotel room in Los Angeles, feeling homesick for her boyfriend, cats, and the normalcy of life back home in England. It was inspired by her idols, The Beatles.

    "It opens with all the little mundane things, like doing the dishes, that I miss because I'm always away," Beabadoobee said. "Really, it's just a cute little love song with a weird nonexistent structure."
  • "Coming Home" is a classic Beabadoobee cocktail: gentle fingerpicking on an acoustic guitar sets the mood while her signature sweet and breathy vocals drift in like a comforting summer breeze. A muted trumpet adds a melancholic trill, a touch of bittersweet longing.
  • The song was co-produced by the legendary Rick Rubin, the man who's brought the sounds of Johnny Cash, Adele, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers to life. He joined forces with Beabadoobee's longtime collaborator Jacob Bugden.
  • The first taste of "Coming Home" arrived on Beabadoobee's Instagram on April 11, 2023, whetting the appetites of fans. Then, on June 5, 2024, it was officially released as the second single from her third album, This Is How Tomorrow Moves.
