"Come What May" is a song written by David Baerwald and Kevin Gilbert,[1] originally intended for the film William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet.
[2] However, it debuted in, and is best known as the romantic love theme from, Baz Luhrmann's 2001 film Moulin Rouge!, in which Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman sing it in their respective roles as Christian and Satine.
The song takes its title from a phrase that originates from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night (1601) and later appears Macbeth (1606).
The lyrics "Every day I love you more and more" and "Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing/Telling me to give you everything" are part of the song on the soundtrack version.
[6] "Come What May" was nominated for a 2002 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song – Motion Picture, but lost to Sting's "Until" from Kate & Leopold.
