    Released: July 25, 2006

Coming Home is the fifth studio album by American rock band New Found Glory. It was produced by the band along with Thom Panunzio and released on September 19, 2006, through Geffen Records.[1] Written and demoed at the Morning View Mansion in Malibu, California during 2005, Coming Home is lyrically themed around being away from home and loved ones.[2] The album marks a departure from the band's earlier work, implementing a more layered and mid-tempo sound that features various piano, keyboard, and string instrumentation more comparable to classic rock than their usual pop punk style.[3][4][5]

Despite some backlash due to the change in musical style, Coming Home garnered positive reviews and retrospective commentary.[6][7][8] Particularly noted for its matured outlook,[9][10][11] the songs are considered the most "mellow" of New Found Glory's career.[12]

One single, "It's Not Your Fault", was released. The album debuted at number eight on the Billboard Rock Albums chart and number nineteen on the Billboard 200.[13] The album was the band's last release on a major label, as they left Geffen Records the following year before signing with independent labels Bridge Nine and the long running Epitaph Records.
