"Come Over" is a song written by Sam Hunt, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne[1] and recorded by American country music artist Kenny Chesney. It was released in May 2012 as the second single from his fourteenth studio album Welcome to the Fishbowl.

Content

The song is in the key of D-flat major with a main chord pattern of B♭m7-G♭sus2-D♭-A♭.[2]

Co-writer Josh Osborne said that when writing the song, he and the co-writers were composing melodies when co-writer Sam Hunt suggested to make it a "kind of desperate thing, like the guy is pleading with this girl to come over." Upon reaching the chorus, they decided to repeat the phrase "come over" to "[get] into the emotion of the situation."[3]

Critical reception

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song three and a half stars out of five, writing that "the songwriters show power in efficiency, yet the singer never really conveys the physical need for this woman that the repetition begs for."[4] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song four stars out of five, saying that it "shows off a completely different side for Kenny Chesney and it manages to feel immediate and current in ways that 'Feel Like a Rock Star' didn't."[5]

Music video

The music video was directed by Shaun Silva and premiered in June 2012.[6] It was filmed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida with some ocean scenes near Miami Beach, Florida. Chesney has described the music video as a "classy booty call."[7]

Chart performance

"Come Over" debuted at number 24 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for the week of June 2, 2012.[8] After spending eleven weeks on the country chart, "Come Over" became Chesney's twenty-second number one single on the country chart dated August 11, 2012. The song has sold over a million copies in the US.[9]
