Interesting facts and trivia about Come Over. By Songfacts®.

The second single and opening track from Kenny Chesney's Welcome to the Fishbowl album was written by Sam Hunt, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne. It was sent to Country radio on May 14, 2012.

Chesney explained the song's meaning: "'Come Over'" is about two people who are as broken as their relationship is, when they realize deep down that their time together has probably ran its course, but they aren't really ready to emotionally or physically move on to something else," he said. "They keep going back to each other because it's familiar. It's about emotionally feeling wanted in a moment, but it feels impossible to let anybody else fill that void. It's a really sexy song with lyrics that are incredibly universal."

The song's video was filmed it off the coast of Florida and directed by Chesney's longtime collaborator Shaun Silva. "'Come Over' is the most intimate journey I've captured of Kenny in the 10 years we've been making music videos together," said the director. "It's clear within the first five seconds of this video that Kenny is committed to his character in the video and was more than willing to open up to the vulnerabilities associated with this tortured love story. The music video was finished in black-and-white, delivering a strikingly timeless and cinematic result." According to Chesney, this is a "classy booty call song," and the video has the same concept. He explained to CMT News: "We've all been in those situations when we know we're not going to [continue to] be with that person we have been with for a while. The relationship is over, done, run its course. But you aren't really ready to move onto somebody else emotionally, mentally or physically. So what do we do? We 'come over.' (Holds hand up to ear), 'I know you hate me and I hate you too ... but come over! We don't have to fix each other, so come over.' We know we're screwed up. So we took that situation and made the video. It's a very sexy video." Chesney owns the 86-foot Riva Domino speedboat that features in the video.
