Writing and production

"Come With Me" was written by singer-songwriter and rapper Costadinos Contostavlos (Dappy), and co-produced by record producers David Dawood (Dawood) and Nathan Retro (Retro). According to Dawood and Retro, the vocals for the song were recorded in China, Russia and Italy over a six-month period, prior to the single's release on 12 August 2012. They also stated that the track was initially intended as a left-over track for use in the future. They said:

"The song Come With Me, totally addictive [...] mixing Aggrotech with rap and some other part of electronics. We took the vocals and tried it on Come With Me and it worked. Quite bright and catchy [...] it's kind of No-Fi, smoothing up one vocal and turning it into an electrifying dance track."

— David Dawood & Nathan Retro

"Come With Me" marks Dappy's fourth single away from N-Dubz, and follows his collaboration with Brian May on "Rockstar", which peaked at No. 2 in February 2012.[2]
