"You Came" is a song by English singer Kim Wilde from her sixth studio album, Close (1988). It was released on 4 July 1988 as the album's second single.[1] The song was written by Wilde and Ricky Wilde, after the birth of his first child, Marty.

"You Came" became one of the most successful singles of Wilde's career, peaking at number three on the UK Singles Chart and reaching the top 10 in several other European countries, including Denmark, where it reached number one for five weeks. In the United States, it was her fourth (and, to date, final) single to reach the top 50, peaking at number 41 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.

Remixes and B-sides

The version of the song used for the 7-inch single in Europe and Australia was an edited version of the original found on the Close album. An extended version was also released on the 12-inch and CD single format.

In North America, a remix by Shep Pettibone was included on both formats, with an edited version on the 7-inch and two different dub versions (only available on the 12-inch format). The full length Pettibone remix was also released on a separate 12-inch single in Europe.

In the countries where "You Came" was the first Close single (namely North America and France), the B-side used was an exclusive non-album track called "Tell Me Where You Are," which in the rest of the world had been the B-side to the first Close single "Hey Mister Heartache". In these countries the B-side to "You Came" was a track from the album entitled "Stone."
