"She's Coming Home" is a song written by keyboardist Rod Argent recorded by his band the Zombies. The song has early origins in Argent's life; he lifted segments from the 1946 song "Magnificat and Nunc dimittis" which he had heard in boy choir. Characterized by its unusual chord progression, the song was recorded on 2 March 1965 during a three-hour session held at Decca Studios along with several other tracks, all of whom were by their standard producer Ken Jones, who knew what Argent had looked for in the song and attempted to produce it in that style.
As the group was primarily focused on the American market at the time, Parrot Records quickly released the single – backed by bassist Chris White's "I Must Move" – on 27 March 1965. Although both the group's previous US singles had been top-ten hits on both Billboard Hot 100 and the Cashbox Top 100, "She's Coming Home" only become a mid-sized hit, not breaching the top-forty. The UK release by Decca Records on 9 April 1965, which failed to chart, can be considered the starting point of the group's declining commercial success. The single was relatively well received in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
