"Coming Around" is a song by Scottish indie rock band Travis, released on 5 June 2000 as a stand-alone single, although it was subsequently added to a limited-edition version of The Man Who. Written by frontman Fran Healy and produced by Mark Wallis along with the band, it was recorded at both Roundhouse Studios and Eden Studios in London, England. In 2012, American rock band Counting Crows recorded this song for their album Underwater Sunshine (or What We Did on Our Summer Vacation).[1]

"Coming Around" became Travis's first single to debut atop the Scottish Singles Charts, whilst in the United Kingdom, it debuted at number five on the UK Singles Charts. It also charted in Ireland, where it reached number 18 on the Irish Singles Charts. A music video for "Coming Around" was filmed in Los Angeles by director Ringan Ledwidge, and was based largely on Humpty Dumpty, with Healy claiming the idea for the video was to bring the character of Humpty Dumpty "into the modern context" after Healy's curiosity as to how the character would fare in the modern world.[2]
