"We'll Be Coming Back"
Song

"We'll Be Coming Back" is a song by Scottish record producer Calvin Harris and English vocalist Example. The song was released as 18 Months' fourth single on 27 July 2012.[1] The song spent two weeks at number two (held off by Wiley's "Heatwave") on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Harris' fourth consecutive number-two single in the United Kingdom.[2] In Ireland, the song debuted at number one, becoming Example's first number-one single and Harris' second (first as main artist) in the country.[3] It also featured as the final track on Example's album The Evolution of Man.

Composition

Beginning with a melodic guitar-driven introduction, "We'll Be Coming Back" transitions into a "hard electro synth-fuelled chorus" featuring Example's vocals.[4]

Music video

Filmed in the Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles, California in June 2012,[5] the music video for "We'll Be Coming Back" stars Harris and Example as robbers. After burying what they've stolen, the two return at a later time to retrieve the goods to find that a female officer who had been tracking them has gotten to it first, leaving behind her badge as evidence.[1] In addition to the robbery, the video features a series of high-speed car chases and police confrontations.

Speaking to Capital in June 2012, Harris stated that they both wanted to "look cool" in the music video for "We'll Be Coming Back," and went on to say of the video premise: "we've got flash cars and it's the old two day trip to LA option."[6] With Example driving a Porsche and Harris driving a Ferrari 512 BB, several expensive cars were damaged during the filming of the video.[7] It was directed by Iranian film and documentary-maker Saman Keshavarz.[8] The video for "We'll Be Coming Back" premiered on 6 July 2012.

Critical reception

The song has been called the "soundtrack to the summer" by Music-news.com,[4] and a "summer anthem" by the Westmeath Examiner.[9] Digital Spy gave the track a mixed review, describing it as "mildly enjoyable" but "a little stale."[10]
