"Soon as I Get Home" is a song by the American singer Faith Evans. It was written by Evans along with Sean Combs and Chucky Thompson for her debut studio album Faith (1995), while production was helmed by Combs and Thompson. A romantic hip hop soul ballad which chronicles a woman's desire to spend more time with her loved one, it was inspired by Evans' marriage to her then-husband The Notorious B.I.G., which had changed radically after the major commercial success of his debut album Ready to Die (1994).
The song was released as the album's second single following "You Used to Love Me" (1995). It peaked at number 21 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number three on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, becoming Faith's highest-charting single. In February 1996, "Soon as I Get Home" was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The same year, it won Evans the Lady of Soul Award for Best R&B/Soul or Rap New Artist at the 2nd awards ceremony.
