Songfacts®:

  • "Bring It On Home To Me" is a soul classic originally recorded by Sam Cooke in 1962. Since its release, the song has been covered by numerous iconic artists, including Otis Redding, Rod Stewart, and John Lennon. Bublé recorded his version, with production by Bob Rock, for his 2022 album Higher.
  • While Cooke's version is steeped in gospel and R&B traditions, Bublé's interpretation leans more towards a jazz and pop sound.
  • Bublé's version of "Bring It On Home To Me" has been featured in his live performances, including a notable appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on November 14, 2024, where he performed the song with a full band and gospel choir, earning a standing ovation.
  • Bublé revealed to Fallon that "Bring It On Home to Me" holds a special place in his heart and is his favorite song he's ever recorded. He described the process of reimagining the track while at home, feeling inspired by gospel music and his spiritual connection to God. This deeply personal connection is why he considers it his "desert-island disc."
  • Higher is Bublé's 11th studio album and features a mix of covers and original songs. The album was well-received critically and commercially, winning the Best Traditional Pop Album at the 2023 Grammy Awards.
