"Come Back to Me" is a pop and R&B song by Japanese American pop singer Utada. The song was written by Utada and Stargate and was produced by Utada, Stargate and her father, Sking U. "Come Back to Me" is the first single from her second English-language album This Is the One. In the United States, the song has peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play and number 93 on the Pop 100 chart.
The production of "Come Back to Me" started in 2008. Utada took a few demo tracks that Stargate had produced and just started to write. "Come Back to Me" was chosen as the lead single because Utada felt the song "enters the listener naturally" and "comes into them easily".
Adam Benjamin Irby of Bleu Magazine called the song a "Mariah-esque" song, that is musically reminiscent of "We Belong Together". Michael Botsford of AudioScribbler said that the song is "cheesier than your local pizzeria’s finest, but it knows it. It’s a not a song that we warmed to, but I imagine every teenage girl in the country who’s suffered a break up will well up at the eyes when they hear it."
The single entered the Billboard Pop 100 Airplay and Hot Dance Club Play chart on the issue date of March 28, 2009 at number 75 and number 43 respectively. The single peaked at number 69 and number 5 on their respective charts. On the Billboard Pop 100 chart, the single debuted at number 93 on the issue date of April 11, 2009. On the issue date of May 9, 2009, "Come Back to Me" entered the Rhythmic Airplay Chart at number 39.
