If you’ve watched Purple Hearts, there’s a good chance you’re probably humming “Come Back Home” right now. The original song performed by Sofia Carson in the film is a central element of the slow-burn romance between aspiring singer-songwriter Cassie Salazar (Carson) and US Marine recruit Luke Morrow (Nicholas Galitzine) — and it’s also catchy as hell. 

Now, you’ve got new visuals to accompany your next sing-along. The music video for “Come Back Home” has just been released, directed by film's director Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum and shot by Matthew Sakatani Roe at Sycamore Cove Beach in Malibu, it is a tribute to the film’s touching end scene. 

If you haven’t watched Purple Hearts yet, here’s the rundown: Directed by Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum, the movie boasts a classic enemies-to-lovers setup. When Cassie and Luke first meet, they disagree on pretty much everything. But as extreme circumstances force them into a marriage of convenience right before Luke deploys to Iraq, they’re forced to learn to live with — and for — each other, against all odds. 

Music is a key part of that journey. There are four original songs in Purple Hearts — “Come Back Home,” “Blue Side of the Sky,” “I Hate the Way” and “I Didn’t Know” — all of which reflect Cassie’s journey as she unwittingly makes Luke her new muse. Carson co-wrote the soundtrack with Justin Tranter, Eren Cannata, Daniel Crean and Skyler Stonestreet in a single whirlwind week, and she even spent months learning to play the piano for Cassie’s big scene performing at the Hollywood Bowl. 

Still, “Come Back Home,” which really jump-starts the couple’s chemistry, was the hardest one to nail down. “ ‘Come Back Home’ went through multiple drafts, some page-one rewrites, in fact, and was the hardest and scariest to crack but, ultimately, is my favorite,” Rosenbaum, who also directed the music video, told Netflix. 

The song was born out of a desire to reflect Luke and Cassie’s emotional pull, and the obstacles that they have to overcome to find each other. “In the case of our story, the character Luke has sort of poo-pooed the arts, but suddenly he has a front row seat to the songwriting process, and he sees bits of himself reflected in the song,” Rosenbaum says. “Cassie, on the other hand, is a pacifist and has never seen firsthand the sacrifices and toll that military service can take on families. She’s blown away by Luke’s heroism, and the song comes from that newfound understanding. So both characters change because of this particular song, and, since they were coming from very opposite perspectives, this song makes them meet more in the middle.”
