I have this thing I do about once a year. I lock myself in the studio for 24 hours and make two or three new songs from start to finish. By the 18th hour, the combination of sleep deprivation, creative frustration and isolation put me in this weird vulnerable state. I kind of felt like giving up on music at the time to be honest, so I made a song about that. Because I was alone in the studio and had a microphone, I ended up recording it myself and finished producing it in the few hours remaining. I [don't] see myself as a singer but I thought it would be weird to have anyone else do the song so I kept it the same as the demo on the album.

– Madeon about "Home" via Facebook

Home is a song written, sung, and produced by Madeon. It is the final song on the standard edition of his debut album, Adventure, and the twelfth on its deluxe edition.

Background[]

In January 2014, Madeon completely stopped touring in order to focus on writing music for Adventure. He completed "Home" during a 24-hour period in which he locked himself in his studio and forced himself to create three original songs; another song of his, "Finale" was also produced in this manner. Via Twitter in March 2015, Madeon said, "Because I was alone in the studio and had a microphone, I ended up recording it myself and finished producing it in the few hours remaining."[1]

The song was premiered via BBC Radio 1 on 10 March 2015.

Lyrics[]

If I fall down on my knees
Wondering for what we could be
If I could try a little harder, I would succeed (oh-oh)
I'd rather give up and be happy

I will come home
I will come home

I will come home in time
And we'll grow old and break apart
It's what I told you from the start
We've always played the part

If I could try a little harder, I could succeed
I'd rather give up and be happy

I will come home in time
And we'll grow old and break apart
It's what I told you from the start
We've always played the part

(Oh-oh)

I will come home in time
And we'll grow old and break apart
It's what I told you from the start
We've always played the part

I will come home
And we'll grow old (ah-ah-ah)
It's what I told
