Music video[edit]
The 'Come Back to Me' music video was filmed at Los Angeles International Airport on March 5, 2009 and was directed by Gavin Bowden. In the video, Sarah Roemer plays Cook's girlfriend. After a bulletin sent by David Cook's official fan page, the video was released on April 1, 2009. First, it was released as a sneak peek on American Idol prior to Cook's performance of 'Come Back to Me' and then it was released through AT&T later the same day. Cook stated that he had to learn to sing the song backwards.
It was similar to many past music videos, which were also shot backwards. Popular 'The Scientist' by Coldplay has been a big comparison. Many similarities such as Cook jumping over the wall is seen in The Scientist as well, the main difference is when the music video ends with everything reversing and starts to move forward again, where this is not seen in The Scientist. Both singers had to learn the song backwards for the music videos.
The video was shot in a backward motion. It starts with Cook washing his face and singing to himself while looking into the mirror. He then walks backwards and enters a room where he plays the piano with his band. He then gets up and walks backwards through a parking lot and a forest, where he enters a taxi. He is then exits the taxi and walks backwards through the airport, where couples are embracing. He gets onto an escalator and heads to the terminal where he meets his love interest. They hug and kiss, and as they kiss, time stops and everyone is frozen except the two of them. As they finish their kiss, a tear is shown rolling into the girl's eye. At this point everything begins moving forward again. She walks away from Cook to her plane and he stares after her.
Chart performance[edit]
'Come Back to Me' debuted at number 49 on the BillboardPop 100 chart issued April 9, 2009.

Everyone at corporate office seemed to be great, Tony Harp seems to be a great district manager of other locations but Charlotte region absolutely needs attention. I switched to Meineke the day after I was fired for no reason (the week before I was told I was a great mechanic) and the environment is completely different. It just felt like a toxic environment to work in. The distract manager even told us one time that 'Everyones replaceable i dont care how good you are'. Precision tune auto care durham nc reviews. They have been understaffed since I got there 2 years ago and I truly believe that has to deal with the managing going on.
