Come Over (4:08)

The Come Over Songfacts reports that the song was written by Sam Hunt, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne. When the three songwriters first got together they didn’t really have the song title or its concept in mind. However, Osborne explained to Taste of Country that Hunt, “sort of had that phrasing on the verse,” so the trio “started jammin’ on that.”

When the trio got to the chorus, they fell onto the “I told you I wouldn’t call. I told you I wouldn’t care” lyric, which they felt would be a cool opening line. “It was very rare that we wrote that long without having a title,” said Osborne. “We got near the end of the chorus, and I think Shane said, ‘What if it was just like a simple title like ‘Come Over,’ about these two people who know each other well, and finally the guy says to come over? But what if we said it a bunch of times like he was pleading with her?’ Then we felt like we had something.”
