Wikipedia article"'Baby's Coming Back'" / "'Transylvania'" (single release titled "'Baby's Coming Back & Transylvania'") is the fourth and final single from English pop rock band McFly's third studio album, 'Motion in the Ocean'. "Baby's Coming Back" is a cover of a song originally written, performed, and recorded in 1990 by the American power pop band Jellyfish, while "Transylvania" is an original by McFly. The single debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart but fell to number 20 the following week, setting the record for the biggest drop off number one until 2016, when "A Bridge over You" by the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Choir fell to number 29 from the top spot.

"Baby's Coming Back" is a cover of the 1991 Jellyfish song. The pipe organ introduction to "Transylvania" is the opening of Johann Sebastian Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor. The B-side is a live recording cover of the Beastie Boys song "Fight for Your Right".
