KONGOS - Come with Me Now

"Come with Me Now" took the long way around. Kongos, the South African American band, first posted it on YouTube on September 27, 2011, then made it an iTunes single in December 2012, lifted from their album Lunatic. In South Africa, where they played it live while opening for Linkin Park, it became a fan favorite, but America didn't bite, and the band admitted they'd lost heart and were ready to move on to new material.

Then, in early January 2014, US stations finally started spinning the stomper. The airplay drew major-label interest, Kongos signed with Epic, the song was sent to US pop radio on 15 April 2014, and it climbed all the way to No. 1 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart, their first US chart single. It also landed on the soundtrack of The Expendables 3.
