"You Came" is the second single from the Kim Wilde album "Close".

The single became one of the biggest hits of her long career. Although it did not continue her US success, it topped charts throughout Europe and reached #3 in the UK Singles Chart.

The song was released during the summer of 1988, while Wilde was supporting Michael Jackson on the European leg of his tour (the video for "You Came" showed material from the concerts as well as backstage footage). With the "Close" album becoming a best-seller, this was arguably the point where Wilde was at the pinnacle of her career as "You Came" topped the charts all over the world.

The song was written by Wilde and her brother after the birth of his first child, Marty.

Remixes and B-sides

The version of the song used for the 7" 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" and CD-single format.

In North America, a remix by Shep Pettibone was found on both formats, with an edited version on the 7". The full length Pettibone remix was also released on a separate 12" single in the UK.

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."
