About Come Back to Me

"Come Back to Me" is the debut single by American actress and singer Vanessa Hudgens. The song was written and produced by Antonina Armato and Tim James. It was released on September 12, 2006, through Hollywood Records as the lead single from Hudgens' debut studio album, V (2006). The song is built around a sample of "Baby Come Back" (1977) by American band Player. Due to the inclusion of the sample, the original song's writers, Peter Beckett and J. C. Crowley, obtained writing credits. Musically, "Come Back to Me" is a R&B song with an urban beat, string instruments and hand claps. Critical reception of "Come Back to Me" was generally positive; some critics praised the inclusion of the Player sample and named the song one of the album's best tracks. However, it was criticized for holding a manufactured and overproduced sound. It performed moderately in the United States, where it peaked at number 55 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 18 on the Pop Songs chart. It fared better internationally as it peaked in the top 20 in several countries, including France, Italy, New Zealand and Spain. The accompanying music video was directed by Chris Applebaum and features Hudgens dancing in front of colorful backdrops and hanging out with her friends.

Ha, ha!
You all need to get ready to hear
The unbelievable
Indescribable
Vanessa Hudgens
Baby V!

(Baby, come back)

Everyday, I try to play another game
But my heart can't take it
I try to find another boy
But all the while, I can't face it
Why do I miss you so much?
I wanna stop this hurt inside
Oh, baby, please give us one more try

(Baby, come back)

I see you out with all your friends
Laughin' it up as you pretend
To have a good time (good time)
I know 'cause I'm living the same lie (same lie)
So one of us has got to say
We can't keep living this same way
So I'll be the one
Yeah, I'll say it
I'll say it
I'll say it
I'll say it again

Baby, come back to me
In my heart I still believe
We were meant to be together
So whatever it takes (Baby, come back)
Baby, come back to me
I should have never set you free
My baby
Come back (Baby, come back)

I wanna call, but then I stall
'Cause, after all, I just couldn't take it
'Cause if your plan was to push me away
You know that day
My heart - you'd break it (Baby, come back)
I know we made a mistake (I do)
Can't you stop your foolish pride? (Oh no)
And come back to me
Let's try
Let's try
Let's try
Let's try it again

Baby, come back to me
In my heart I still believe
We were meant to be together
So whatever it takes (Baby, come back)
Baby, come back to me
I should have never set you free
My baby
Come back (Baby, come back)

You know you miss your baby V
And I can see that you think about me
So why do you act like you don't care
Like all this love between us isn't there?
I know that you're upset
I know I did you wrong
I know you want me to pay for all the pain I've caused
But in the end, it all comes down to just one thing
It's you and me
So I sing

Baby, come back!

Baby, come back to me
In my heart I still believe
We were meant to be together
So whatever it takes (Baby V!)
Baby, come back to me (come back)
I should have never set you free
My baby
Come back (Baby, come back!)
