"Come and Get It"
Song

"Come and Get It" is a single by English soul singer and musician John Newman. The song was released on 17 July 2015 as the lead single from his second studio album Revolve. A music video was commissioned for it to promote the song. It has received positive critical reception. The song was written and produced by John Newman and Greg Kurstin.

Background

Newman wrote the song with the intention of writing something to enjoy in the car, and took inspiration from the sun.[1] It is the first single from his newest, currently untitled, album. It premiered on Capital FM.[1]

Music video

A music video was commissioned for the song. It features Newman and starts off black and white before becoming full colour. It features him driving himself and a girl into the sunset.[2] The idea of the video was created by Newman, who explained that he wrote the script for the video while in Los Angeles, and that it was originally intended for another song. Initially, two videos were created – one a prequel to the other – however only one of them was used after "Come and Get It" was selected as the new single. The video was directed by Alex Heron, who was the only one of Newman's producers who believed that the idea would work. It is based upon an event that happened in Newman's life.[3]

Critical reception

Brice Ezell of PopMatters commended the song for containing a "positively huge" chorus that was "catchy in a near undeniable way",[4] while Alexander Bradley of Gigsandfestivals.com called it "upbeat and infectious".[5] Tarynn Law of The 405 commended the song's blend of "soul, funk, and gritty, blues-esque lyrical delivery is welcomed",[6] while Natalie Harmsen noted its "upbeat jangly swing accompanied by a funky melody that adds a Pharrell-esque twist".[7]
