      • "Come On to Me" is a song by English musician Paul McCartney, released by Capitol Records on 20 June 2018 as a double A-side single alongside "I Don't Know", both taken from McCartney's 17th studio album Egypt Station.
      "Come On to Me" is described on McCartney's web site as a "raucous stomper that fans that first spark of chemistry into a rocking blaze". The song peaked at No. 10 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Songs chart, McCartney's first top 10 appearance since 1993.


      Composition and recording


      In the Words Between Tracks episode about writing a song, McCartney said:

      Come On to Me is sort of a pick-up song, and I'm imagining myself, probably in the sixties, going to a party and seeing someone and thinking, "Okay, how do I make an approach here?" So it's a sort of, it's an imaginary song, a fantasy song about a guy seeing someone and thinking, "We should try and find a place to be alone here, and maybe exchange information and stuff, and hey you look like you flashed a smile and said to me you wanted so much more than casual conversation. So would you come on to me, or am I going to come on to you?"
      The track was recorded at Henson Studios in Los Angeles, with additional sessions recorded at Hog Hill Mill in Sussex and Abbey Road Studios. It was engineered by Steve Orchard, Alex Pasco, Julian Burg, and Greg Kurstin.
