"'I'm Coming Home'" is a song recorded by Japanese-American singer-songwriter Ai, released on January 14, 2020, by EMI Records. Written by Ruri Matsumura, Ai and Jin, the song served as the theme song for the sci-fi thriller 'AI Hokai'.
Background and release
In October 2019, it was revealed Ai would sing the theme song for 'AI Amok', a Japanese sci-fi thriller film directed by Yu Ire. Ai was asked by Ire to record a song for his film as he wanted a female artist to sing the theme song. Regarding the film being about artificial intelligence and the irony of recruiting Ai to record a song for the film, Ire stated, People asked me if I was joking at first, but she wrote a great song. Ire also stated he "absolutely needed Ai's loving and powerful singing". In a 2020 interview regarding her 2020 extended play 'It's All Me, Vol. 1', Ai talked about "I'm Coming Home", commenting, "The movie was about artificial intelligence, but I wanted to make the theme song human-like".
In June 2020, "I'm Coming Home" was revealed to be included on Ai's EP, 'It's All Me, Vol. 1' serving as the third single.
Music and lyrics
'Billboard' described "I'm Coming Home" as a "warm, inspirational ballad that sings about having a place to come home to".

Ai performed the song during TBS' 'Count Down TV' broadcast.
