"Lover Come Back to Me" is a 1985 single by the English pop band Dead or Alive, produced by Stock Aitken Waterman.
In addition to the standard 7" and 12" formats, a fan-shaped picture disc was also released in the UK.
As with "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)", the song was re-recorded in 2003 for the band's retrospective compilation album Evolution: The Hits.
The single generally received positive reviews, being described as "appealing" by Ira Robbins of Trouser Press[2] while Ned Raggett of AllMusic said, "When Burns commands at the end of the chorus, 'Kick it right down, right down!'
"[1] Members of pop duo Strawberry Switchblade Jill Bryson and Rose McDowall criticized the song, saying that they "don't like it very much" and "it's horrible".
