Adapted from Tess Wakefield’s 2017 book of the same name, Purple Hearts refrains from the corniness of romantic movies and touches upon real-life issues. The movie does use the classic trope of a marriage of convenience, which ultimately leads to the protagonists falling in love. However, the predictable romance has a beautiful sensitivity and tenderness that immediately made it a crowd favorite. What adds to and encapsulate the beauty of this film is its soundtrack, especially this one song.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Sofia revealed, “Come Back Home was particularly a challenge for us and particularly emotional because it’s set at a moment in the film that is so pivotal to our story and to our characters” Talking about the song and its title, she adds, “In those three words, Cassie says everything that she’s been too afraid to say to him.” The song plays after the final reunion of Cassie and Luke on the beach.
The music video is actually Sofia Carson “performing Come Back Home on the piano.” To make it even more special, the performance is “actually set at the same beach that Luke and I end the movie on,”, said Sofia. She believes, “It’s a really intimate, vulnerable, and emotional moment that I think is true to our film.”
