Interesting facts

"Come Back" is a single released by Welsh pop singer Jessica Garlick. It represented the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 2002.

Background

The song was written by Martyn Baylay then an airline pilot from Birmingham who prior to "Come Back" had made seven unsuccessful attempts to place a composition in the UK national preselection round for Eurovision, also known as A Song for Europe. Baylay would recall: "I had always tried to deliberately write a song for the Contest, I would try anything to get in, I studied form so to speak and tried to create the perfect contest song.

After "Come Back" had been selected as one of the eight Song for Europe 2002 finalists, the BBC's Eurovision executive producer Kevin Bishop contacted the station's Music & Media Partnership managing director Rick Blaskey who'd recall Bishop advising him that "Come Back" "was written by a pilot from Birmingham who doesn't know anyone in the business and needs some help".

On the night of the Eurovision competition, held on 25 May 2002 at the Saku Suurhall Arena in Tallinn, Estonia, "Come Back" was performed second, following Cyprus' One with "Gimme" and preceding Austria's Manuel Ortega with "Say a Word". For her Eurovision appearance, Garlick wore a dark red gown which was shredded from the waist down. She was accompanied on stage by five backing singers dressed in white.

The final tally for "Come Back" was 111 points, which technically tied "Come Back" with the Estonian entrant "Runaway" performed by Sahlene for a third place behind the entrants from Malta ("7th Wonder" by Ira Losco) and the winning Latvia ("I Wanna by Marie N).

Whether considered a third or fourth-place finisher, "Come Back" remained the highest ranked UK entrant at Eurovision of the 21st Century until 2022, when Sam Ryder finished in 2nd place with Space Man.
