Singer-songwriter Irene Rose invites listeners on a heartfelt journey back to where the heart truly belongs with her new single, “I’m Coming Home.” Written by Rose and Chris Dodson, this evocative song is set to be an anthem for anyone who’s felt the ache of being away and the undeniable pull of returning home to loved ones.
With lines like “I’ve been rolling, I’ve been rambling / Man, I’ve been everywhere,” Irene captures the spirit of a traveler who’s been across states, from California to Carolina, but longs for a small “map dot” — a place far beyond any destination.
Departing from her typical genre of children’s music, Rose deviates to the gypsy swing/jazz genre with a musical treat for all ages. “I’m Coming Home” takes listeners on a journey through planes, trains, and the relentless pursuit of dreams, reminding us that the most cherished destination is being reunited with loved ones. The song’s chorus echoes with an invitation to “leave the light on,” symbolizing the warmth of home and the people who are always waiting, no matter how far we’ve traveled.
A powerful bridge draws on Irene’s own experiences of seeing “ocean views and city lights” only to discover that the most meaningful sight of all is “looking into your eyes.” With raw, resonant lyrics, Irene creates an intimate, universal appeal, blending nostalgia with a deeply personal longing. Irene Rose has gained wide recognition as a celebrated country and children’s artist, with her talents earning her two consecutive nominations at the Josie Music Awards, held at the historic Grand Ole Opry. Her most recent nomination as Best Children's Music Creator/Performer highlights her range and ability to reach listeners of all ages, further showcasing her dedication and impact in Nashville’s music community. “I’m Coming Home” is perfect for playlists that celebrate love, family, and belonging along with the excitement of holiday reunions.
With its genuine storytelling, vivid imagery, and soulful melody, Irene Rose delivers a moving tribute to homecomings of all kinds. The song will be available on all streaming platforms on November 15th, but is available for pre-save on Spotify now.
