"You Came" is a song by English singer Kim Wilde from her sixth studio album, Close (1988). It was released on 4 July 1988 as the album's second single.[1] The song was written by Wilde and her brother Ricky Wilde, after the birth of his first child, Marty (named after their father).

"You Came" became one of the most successful singles of Wilde's career, peaking at number three on the UK Singles Chart and reaching the top 10 in several other European countries, including Denmark, where it reached number one for five weeks. In the United States, it was her fourth (and, to date, final) single to reach the top 50, peaking at number 41 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.
