"Come Home" is a song by New Zealand band Sons of Zion, released as a single in 2019. Intended as a follow-up to their hit single "Drift Away" (2018), the song was a success in New Zealand, receiving a gold certification by Recorded Music New Zealand.
"Come Home" was a song that the band worked on for an extended time, and wanted to express the feeling of deciding whether or not to end a relationship. The song was written collaboratively by the members of the band, based on a tune created by Matthew Sadgrove on the guitar.[1] The song also features writing by bandmember Caleb Haapu's brother Seth Haapu.
"Come Home" was released as a single on 14 June 2019.[2] [3] To promote the single, Sons of Zion performed Come Home Tour, an eight-date tour across New Zealand in August 2019.[4] [5]
Kongfooey of muzic.net.nz likened "Come Home" to the band's previous single "Drift Away", praising the song's "tropical upbeat summer pop vibe", "sparse and crisp production" and the song's vocal harmonies, and felt that the band's incorporation of electro-pop and folk in addition to roots reggae was a "nice fusion that sets them apart".[6]
