Content

The song is a ballad about a woman who expresses the loneliness of her husband, who is a deployed service member, and pleads him to "come home soon". According to Osborn, "it could be relatable to anyone who is separated from a loved one. But it was inspired by the circumstances of a soldier being taken away from his family and sent to do something he didn't understand or really want to do." [2]

The group sold "Come Home Soon" bracelets with all proceeds going to the American Red Cross. [3]

Music video

The music video was directed by Steven Goldmann and premiered in mid-2004. It depicts the three sisters, plus many others, walking down a street at night holding candles at a vigil, ending with a message that reads "For all our heroes, here at home". [4]
