I'm Coming Home is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released on September 21, 1973, by Columbia Records and was mainly composed of material written by the songwriting team of its producer, Thom Bell, and Linda Creed. Unlike several of the Mathis albums before it, I'm Coming Home relied primarily on new songs and included only two covers of established chart hits, both of which were by The Stylistics ("I'm Stone in Love with You" and "Stop Look and Listen to Your Heart").

The album made its first appearance on Billboard magazine's Top LP's & Tapes chart in the issue dated November 17, 1973, and remained there for 22 weeks, peaking at number 115. It also began an 11-week run on the UK album chart on March 8, 1975, during which time it made it to number 18. On July 1, 1975, the British Phonographic Industry awarded the album with Silver certification for sales of 60,000 units.

The title track was released as the first single from the album on July 27, 1973, and entered Billboard's list of the 50 most popular Easy Listening songs in the US the following month in the issue of the magazine dated August 25 to begin an 18-week stay that included a week at number one—Mathis's first week in the top spot on that particular chart. The song entered the Hot 100 in the September 22 issue, reaching number 75 over the course of 10 weeks, and gave him his first Soul chart entry in almost 10 years when it started a five-week run in the October 6 issue that took the song to number 92.

The second single released in the US, "Life Is a Song Worth Singing", made its first appearance on the Easy Listening chart in the issue dated December 22, 1973, and got as high as number eight during its 15 weeks there. The December 29 issue saw its debut on the Hot 100, which resulted in a 12-week stay and a peak position at number 54, and its eight-week Soul chart run began in the January 26 issue and took it to number 65.
