"Jag kommer" (English: "I'm coming") is a song that was recorded by Swedish singer Veronica Maggio and is included on her third studio album Satan i gatan (2011). Maggio co-wrote the song with Steffan Olsson and the track's producer Christian Walz. On 10 February 2011, it was released to contemporary hit radio stations in Sweden as the album's lead single. The track is a pop rock song about the beginning of a relationship. Some music critics noted a double entendre in the lyrics, though according to Maggio, the song's meaning is open to interpretation. It also attracted accusations of plagiarism of the Strokes' "Reptilia" from the Swedish public, which the singer denied.
The song's critical reception was positive; some reviewers called it one of the best tracks on Satan i gatan. "Jag kommer" peaked at number one on Sweden's Sverigetopplistan chart, making it Maggio's first number-one single in the country. The song has been certified septuple platinum in Sweden by the Swedish Recording Industry Association (GLF). It peaked at number 12 on Norway's Topp 20 Singles and was certified double platinum by IFPI Norway.
A music video for "Jag kommer", directed by Robinovich, was uploaded to Maggio's YouTube channel on 11 April 2011. It depicts the singer trying to exit her apartment as the floor moves in the opposite direction of the one she walks to. Maggio performed the song in multiple occasions, including Peace & Love and Øyafestivalen. In 2011, it won the Rockbjörnen prize for Best Swedish Song, and the Swedish hit of the Year award at the GAFFA Awards. It was also nominated for Song of the Year at both the Grammis and P3 Guld Awards of 2012.
An English-language version of the song, titled "I'm Coming", was released by Swedish singer Tove Lo on 20 March 2020 as part of Spotify's Studio It's Hits program. In contrast to the original's pop-rock sound, Lo's cover is a synth-pop track with a "throbbing" beat. Lo wanted to make something sonically new without losing "the magic" of the original. Music critics called Lo's version one of the week's best releases and compared it with the music of Robyn. Lo's version of "Jag kommer" reached number 12 in Sweden and number 34 in Norway.
