"Come Back Home" debuted at number one on the Gaon Digital Chart.[5] The single accumulated over 1.3 million digital downloads, making it one of the best-selling K-pop songs in 2014, despite its promotions being halted due to the Sewol tragedy.[6]

Background

Music video

The music video for the song was released on March 2, 2014. YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyun-suk described the music video as "set in a near-future city", and the concept is that people in the said era prefer the virtual world over the real one, just like the movie ‘Matrix’."[7] Furthermore it is notable for its high production value of half a million dollars to effectively exude a futuristic vibe with the use of extensive computer graphics, as well as being directed by a rookie director, Dee Shin.[8]

"Come Back Home" garnered positive commercial and critical success, not just for its track but also for its artistic music video for portraying the song's lyrics in a metaphorical light as opposed to what could have been another tragic love story.[9][10]
