"Come On to Me" is a song by English musician Paul McCartney, released by Capitol Records on 20 June 2018 as a double A-side single alongside "I Don't Know", ahead of McCartney's 17th studio album, Egypt Station.^[4]^[5]

McCartney's website described "Come On to Me" as a "raucous stomper that fans that first spark of chemistry into a rocking blaze." The song peaked at number ten on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Songs chart, McCartney's first top 10 appearance since 1993.^[6]

Background, composition, and recording

In the 'Words Between Tracks' about writing a song, McCartney said:

"Come On To Me is sort of a pick-up song, and I’m imagining myself, probably in the sixties, going to a party and seeing someone and thinking "okay, how do I make an approach here?". So it’s a sort of, it’s an imaginary song, a fantasy song about a guy seeing someone and thinking "we should try and find a place to be alone here, and maybe exchange information and stuff, and hey you look like you flashed a smile and said to me you wanted so much more than casual conversation. So would you come on to me, or am I going to come on to you?""^[7]

The track was recorded at Henson Studios in Los Angeles, with additional sessions recorded at Hog Hill Mill (Sussex) and Abbey Road Studios. "Come On To Me" was also engineered by Steve Orchard, Alex Pasco, Julian Burg and Greg Kurstin.^[8]
