You came - Kim Wilde

Despite the absence of a sexual connotation, a lot of people could relate to the lyric of Kim Wilde's 1988 hit single 'You came'. Kim wrote the lyric of the song after the birth of her nephew Marty, son of her brother Ricky. It also helped that at the time of this single's release, Kim was touring Europe supporting Michael Jackson on his 'Bad' tour. More people heard her songs, and so more people bought them.

'You came' reached number 1 in Denmark and was a top 10 hit all over Europe - with the exception of the Netherlands, where it only reached number 13. In the UK singles chart, 'You came' reached number 3.
