Glad You Came
"Glad You Came", also known as "I'm Glad You Came", is a song by British-Irish boy band the Wanted, released on 24 May 2011 as the second single from their second studio album, Battleground. The song was written by Steve Mac, Wayne Hector and Ed Drewett, and produced by Steve Mac.
"Glad You Came" peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart and also topped the charts of Ireland, Japan, and Venezuela. In North America, the song reached number two in Canada and number three in the United States, becoming their only top ten hit in the US.
The song was written and produced by Steve Mac. It serves as the second single from The Wanted's second album, Battleground, which was released on 7 November 2011. Band member Tom Parker said of the song, "We all felt it was a new, refreshing sound and a perfect song for the summer which really gets you in the mood for a party."
The song premiered on the radio on 24 May 2011. The song was also remixed by Alex Gaudino. The American television series Glee covered the track in the episode "On My Way", which was aired during the third season. It was performed at the Regionals competition between New Directions and the Dalton Academy Warblers. Sebastian (Grant Gustin) leads the performance.
Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song four out of five stars writing, "'I decided you look well on me/ So let's go somewhere no-one else can see/You and me,' they continue over a cantering beat and featherlight hook before launching into a carnival-inspired chorus fizzier than a frozen Daiquiri. 'My universe will never be the same/ I'm glad you came,' they croon on the outro. The result is their catchiest effort since 'All Time Low', though on repeated listens we're not buying this innocent act they're sporting one bit." David Griffiths wrote for 4Music that the song is "definitely their most danceable effort to date." About.com's Bill Lamb gave to the song 3.5 out of 5 stars, writing that the song has "genial vocals", a "pop-dance beat" and a "catchy synth hook", but he also noted that it has "frothy lyrics" and "little memorable weight to the song". He praised Max's solo in the beginning and also praised "the keyboard hook that nearly steals the show from the group." To conclude, he wrote that "Glad You Came" is a cheerful, uptempo tune that is easy to dance with, and it is little more than that.
Rolling Stone named "Glad You Came" the forty-fourth best song of 2012, citing the group's "push at the genre's PG-13 rating with a club-bumper that dares to raise the specter of under age inebriation."
In 2018, the song was ranked thirty fifth by Billboard in their compilation of the 100 Greatest Boyband Songs of All Time.
The song became famous in the Philippines during Vice Ganda's appearance at the GMA Network Center on the July 1st, 2023 episode of the noontime variety show It's Showtime.
