I Will Come to You

“I Will Come to You” is one of those songs that sticks in the memory for its emotiveness and catchy melody. Released on September 23, 1997 as the third single from their debut album, Middle of Nowhere, this track reached number five on the UK Singles Chart and climbed to number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100. However, its biggest success came in Australia, where it peaked at number two and earned a platinum certification, while also becoming a major hit in Sweden, topping the charts for four consecutive weeks.

The song stands out for its infectious chorus and dramatic build, leading British music magazine Music Week to award it a perfect score and name it “Single of the Week.” Production was handled by Stephen Lironi, with mixing by Tom Lord-Alge, contributing to the polished sound that defines the album. The music video, directed by Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson, features the Hanson brothers in a forest setting, evoking an almost ethereal atmosphere—though Christopherson noted that the original vision for the video had been darker.

“I Will Come to You” was co-written by the Hanson brothers—Isaac, Taylor, and Zac—alongside Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. This single is part of the string of hits that emerged from Middle of Nowhere, which also includes other popular tracks like “MMMBop” and “Where's the Love.” The album’s production marked a significant shift in the group’s sound, following their independent efforts before signing with Mercury Records. The youth of the brothers—aged between 11 and 16 at the time—helped them connect with a broad and diverse audience, solidifying their place in 1990s music.
