Content

Group member Kristyn Osborn wrote the song with John Shanks. The song is a ballad about a woman who expresses the loneliness of her husband, who is a deployed soldier, and pleads him to "come home soon". According to Osborn, "it could be relatable to anyone who is separated from a loved one. But it was inspired by the circumstances of a soldier being taken away from his family and sent to do something he didn't understand or really want to do."[2]

The group sold "Come Home Soon" bracelets with all proceeds going to the American Red Cross.[3]

The music video was directed by Steven Goldmann and premiered in mid-2004.[4]
