"Come Back Home" is a song by South Korean boy band Seo Taiji and Boys, from their fourth and final self-titled studio album, which was released on October 5, 1995.[1] The group's foray into gangsta rap, the song's lyrical content addresses the societal pressures on young people that push them to run away from home,[2] while the refrain conveys the perspective of the runaways' parents.[3]

Following its release, "Come Back Home" was met with success in South Korea, and achieved the top positions on music program charts for multiple weeks. It won several awards, including the Asia Viewer's Choice Award at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards. In 2007, music webzine Music Y ranked it as the fourth best Korean song of all time.[4]
