Background

"Come Over" was written by Evans, Floyd Howard, Sean Combs and Chucky Thompson and produced by Combs and Thompson for her debut studio album Faith (1995).[1] The song was initially supposed to be an interlude.[2] However, Evans insisted it should be made into a full track.[2] Commenting on their decision to enhance "Come Over," Thompson told Soul Culture in 2014: "This song started out as an interlude because I felt that Faith’s whole vibe was straight from the church. She used to sit with me and play records from The Clark Sisters. I just felt that altar call vibe and sensation with her whenever we were together in the studio working. The song came out as combination of gospel and Guy-like influences from the R&B side of things."[2]
