1. Comeback

   Comeback is a song by English singer Ella Eyre. It was released on 28 September 2014 as the second single from her debut studio album Feline. Eyre wrote "Comeback" at the age of 16 following a break-up, and summed it up as "about being taken advantage of by somebody that you care about, and then eventually you're angry about the whole situation but it's almost like saying 'Fuck it, it doesn't matter because they'll come back anyway'." The song has charted at number 12 on the UK Singles Chart.
