Songfacts®:

  • "Comes and Goes" is a bittersweet house track about a past relationship that won't stay in the past. Irish producer Kettama couples a somber mood with big festival energy, as Maurice Santiago sings about the memory of someone who keeps returning in waves.
  • The track was Kettama and Santiago's second collaboration. Santiago previously provided vocals for "It Gets Better (Forever Mix)," a track from Kettama's 2025 album Archangel.
  • Released on May 20, 2026, "Comes and Goes" became a breakthrough hit for Kettama, cracking the Top 20 on the Irish Singles Chart and marking his first-ever appearance on the UK Singles Chart.
  • Australian producer Dom Dolla dropped an official remix on July 17, 2026. His version keeps Santiago's vocals front and center while beefing up the bass and drums, turning the track into an even bigger dancefloor workout. The regret remains; it has simply acquired a heavier kick drum.
