When It Comes

The story behind

Incubus recorded When It Comes as part of their album Make Yourself, released in October 1999. The song lasts four minutes and became one of the most popular tracks on the album. On Last.fm it has over a million plays and over 280 thousand listeners. The track shows an evolution in the band's sound, with a more refined production and a structure that feels more mature than in their previous works. The lyrics speak of a relationship in which one of the two feels trapped, as if the other won't let them go. It is a song that moves between alternative rock and pop, with a melody that sticks in your head.
