"Home" is a song by Canadian singer Michael Bublé, and released on January 24, 2005, as the first single from his fourth studio album, It's Time. The song was written by Bublé, along with co-writers Alan Chang and Amy Foster-Gillies. Bublé's version was a number-one single on the Adult Contemporary chart formats of both Canada and the United States, in addition to certifying platinum in both countries as well as finding chart success internationally. Following his original version in 2005, two cover versions were successful by other artists: one by Irish group Westlife in 2007, and one by American singer Blake Shelton in 2008.

Background and lyrics

"Home" centralizes on the narrator, who is separated from their lover, possibly a spouse, while off travelling. He expresses a desire to return home and be with his lover. Bublé had been away touring in Italy when he co-wrote the lyrics, for his then-fiancée, Debbie Timuss. Bublé describes his loneliness from missing her in the lyrics. Aaron Latham of Allmusic, in his review of It's Time, described the song favorably. He called it a "positive step forward" for Bublé, adding "The success of this ballad provides yet another direction that he can explore and expand upon."[2]

The song is in the key of G major, with a chord pattern of G-D/F-Em-D-C-D-G. It has a time signature of 4/4 and an approximate tempo of 64 beats per minute.[3]

Release

"Home" was the second single released from It's Time on March 28, 2005. It was Bublé's first single released in the United Kingdom. The single was a hit, topping the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in the United States while peaking at number 31 in the United Kingdom. The release was accompanied by a music video, directed by Noble Jones, who had previously filmed the video for "Feeling Good". The song was also used in the film The Wedding Date.

Subsequently, two cover versions of the song have also been released as singles by other artists. The first of these was recorded by Irish boyband Westlife, whose version was a top ten hit in several European countries. American country music singer Blake Shelton also released his version in early 2008, which reached the top of the American country singles charts. In December 2011, Bublé performed a duet version of the song with English singer-songwriter Gary Barlow, whilst also performing Barlow's "Rule the World". Soon after, a petition was set up for the collaboration to be made available for digital download, to challenge for the United Kingdom Christmas Number One spot.[4] On Bublé's 2012 Christmas television special "Michael Bublé: Home for the Holidays", he and Blake Shelton sang a duet version with lyrics reworked for the Christmas season; this version previously appeared on Shelton's holiday album, Cheers, It's Christmas.

Irish boy band Westlife released a cover version of "Home" as their first single from their eighth studio album, Back Home (2007). Westlife's version differs slightly in their lyrical arrangement as compared to Michael Bublé's version. The single sold over 200,000 copies in the UK alone and was certified silver, peaking at number three on the UK Singles Chart. It is the band's 15th best-selling single in paid-for sales and in combined sales in the UK as of January 2019.[37] The song was ranked number 91 on MTV Asia's list of Top 100 Hits of 2007.[38] A cover of Chicago's "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" was included as the B-side for the single and charted individually on the official UK Singles Chart at number 135.[citation needed]

Music video

The music video for this single was shot in Vancouver using interior and exterior shots of the Orpheum Theater. The exterior shots of the marquee are on Granville Street. A short preview of the video was posted on the band's official website on October 5, 2007. The full video was made available during the later part of the day on The Box. It was directed by Mike Lipscombe and features the band in front of a Boeing 747 plane along with scenes of loved ones meeting each other at the airport.
