"Coming Home Now" is the sixth single taken from Irish boy band Boyzone's debut album, Said and Done (1995). It was their only single to be written solely by the group, without any outside co-writers. Released in February 1996 by Polydor, it peaked at number four on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Boyzone's only solo single to miss the top three prior to their initial split in 2000. The song has received a silver sales certification for shipping 200,000 units in the UK. In Ireland, the song broke their consecutive string of four number-one hits by reaching number two.

Critical reception

British magazine Music Week gave "Coming Home Now" four out of five, writing, "Boyzone should clinch a fifth consecutive top three hit with this sweet, self-penned ballad that has all the ingredients which have made the band so big, plus luscious strings arranged by Anne Dudley." Mark Beaumont from NME described it as a "toe-dip into East 17's smouldering bucket of raunch".
