"We Come 1" is a song by British electronic band Faithless from their third studio album, Outrospective (2001). The song was issued as the album's lead single on 4 June 2001,two weeks before Outrospective was released. [1] The remixes by Wookie and Dave Clarke that appear on the single releases are included on the bonus disc of the album Reperspective:The Remixes . [2]
"We Come 1" reached number three in the United Kingdom,making it the joint-highest-charting Faithless song on the UK Singles Chart along with the 1996 re-release of "Insomnia". The single also reached the top three in Denmark,Greece,Hungary,the Netherlands,Norway,and Romania. A music video directed by Dom and Nic was created for the track. [3] The song re-charted at number 70 on the UK Singles Downloads Chart after the death of Maxi Jazz in December 2022.
Miriam Hubner of Music &Media called "We Come 1" a "fervent love song" and called its production "smooth". [4] Andy Hermann of online magazine PopMatters wrote that the song is an "obvious attempt to follow up the international club success of 'God Is a DJ'",praising its riff and production but noting that it "hardly rocks your world". [5] Reviewing the album on AllMusic,Dean Carlson labelled the track a "sagging comeback single",comparing it to a mundane version of the Underworld song "Oich Oich" (1996). [6]
