It was written by Diddy, Skylar Grey, Jay - Z, J. Cole, and Alex `` da Kid '' Grant, and produced by Jay - Z and Grant. When speaking to Kid about what he wanted, Diddy said, `` I want a beat that makes me feel like a white man in a basement in Atlanta ''.

'' The chorus features vocals from the group 's female members, Kalenna Harper and Dawn Richard, as well as background vocals from fellow Bad Boy Records recording artist Cassie.

Rap - Up magazine reflected on the lyrics of the song, calling them a personal reflection of Diddy 's life and career thanks to lines like `` What am I ' posed to do when the club lights come on / It 's easy to be Puff, but it 's harder to be Sean / What if my twins ask why I ai n't married their mom ? '' Scott Schetler from AOL Radio Blog noted how Diddy referenced a different popular song in each verse. Lamb particularly noted the strong autobiographical lyrics, and the references to the 1979 hit song `` Ai n't No Stoppin ' Us Now '' by McFadden & Whitehead. Other songs referenced include Dionne Warwick 's `` A House Is Not a Home '' ( 1964 ) and Smokey Robinson & the Miracles ' `` The Tears of a Clown '' ( 1970 ). Rodriguez said `` Diddy do ( es ) some soul - searching in his rhymes as the chorus echoes his need for salvation. '' Lamb compared the song to Diddy 's early releases, saying that `` ' Coming Home ' ( welcomes ) Diddy back to the upper ranks of pop - oriented hip hop artists ''. Additionally, Diddy told MTV that although the track had autobiographical elements, it was part of the album 's `` conceptual love story narrated by his character ''. When asked by Live Lounge 's Trevor Nelson what `` Coming Home '' was based on, Diddy said : `` Coming Home '' goes to everybody out there who 's going through a struggle or obstacle. I 've been lost in life, I 'm still lost in life in these sense of trying to find your way back to that person who your grandmother or father wanted you to be. Sometimes you get lost through drug addiction or you break up with up your partner or remission from cancer etc. you struggle to find your way back to yourself. That 's what `` Coming Home '' is about. Critical reception Upon release, `` Coming Home '' was generally met with a positive reception from music critics, who praised the autobiographical lyrics and composition of Skylar Grey 's vocals with the Alex da Kid and Jay - Z production. Becky Bain of Idolator wrote, `` We have to give some credit to Diddy ( or Jay - Z, if he did indeed write ( the lyrics ) ) for dropping some truly introspective lyrics instead of the usual not - so - subtle Cîroc vodka promotions. Simon Vozick - Levinson from Entertainment Weekly agreed, and noted `` Coming Home '' as one of Last Train to Paris ' highlights, saying it was a `` must download '' as the album 's only `` redemptive ballad ''. Jim Farber of the New York Daily News also noted the song 's redemptive themes. He said ' Coming Home ' is the `` only song which breaks the flow '' of Last Train to Paris, `` Diddy confesses to everything from bad parenting to fear of commitment. It 's an interesting moment but an unnecessary one. '' Meanwhile, About.com 's Bill Lamb awarded the song four out of five stars, calling it the first `` pop hit single '' in a long time `` ( which ) matches the size of his public persona ''. He praised the `` beautifully sung chorus by Skylar Grey '' and Diddy 's deep `` autobiographical lyrics ''. Lamb noted that the song `` did n't have the same intensity of emotional impact '' other Alex da Kid productions ( Eminem 's `` Love the Way You Lie '' ) but it did `` deliver a warmth and sense of hope that is a good match with the current holiday season. '' A reviewer from Sound Savvy said `` The latest single ' Coming Home ' is another example of some of the great work found on the album... it 's a heartfelt anthem of triumph and survival -- somber but not depressing. '' Chart performance `` Coming Home '' premiered on October 31, 2010, just prior to the fourth game of the Baseball World Series.

According to a press release by Interscope Records, as of March 25, 2011, `` Coming Home '' has sold 1.8 million digital downloads worldwide. Music video Background The accompanying music video made its worldwide premiere through E ! Online on November 29, 2010. It was filmed entirely in the Mojave Desert, just outside Palm Springs, CA. The video was the first of three released in the three weeks counting down to the album 's release. Album cuts `` Somebody to Love Me '' and `` Ass on the Floor '' ( featuring Swizz Beatz ) received video releases on December 10 and December 13, respectively. `` Coming Home '' was directed by Rich Lee and according to Steven Gottlieb, of Video Static, the theme drew comparisons to some of Diddy 's earliest work. `` ' Coming Home ' has Diddy choppering onto a dry lake bed which is dotted by the charred remains of a luxurious lifestyle. '' A scene from the middle of the video, where Diddy enters the burnt remains of a home, while singing about moments of his life. The two female members of the group, ( Dawn and Kalenna ) walk the landscape outside. Synopsis `` Coming Home '' starts with scenes of a black helicopter flying over the desert. In some of the shots, Diddy can be seen looking out on to the horizon. As the song progresses into its main verses, the camera follows Diddy walking through the desert. In the background and foreground, the fire - damaged remnants of a home such as a TV set, fur coats and a stereo system are scattered across the landscape. During the chorus Dawn Richard and Kalenna Harper take place in front of the camera, walking behind Diddy miming Grey 's words. Later in the clip, during the second verse, Diddy sits in a burned out building singing to himself. Outside, a burned out vehicle is parked. Then during the song 's bridge, red smoke surrounds Diddy as the helicopter, from the opening scene, comes to land. However, this time Richard and Harper are seated inside waiting for Diddy. As the song fades, the helicopter flies over the desert toward the horizon. Reception Staff from E ! Online seemed impressed with the video 's concept and choice of background scenery. They said `` what better place for some introspection than the desert, right ? No sexy bikini - clad ladies or blue - haired Nicki Minajs to distract you, and when you 're done, just call up the helicopter to pick you up ( Pro tip : Hang your leg outside of the chopper for extra cool points. ) ''. Stephen Gottlieb from Video Static said `` It 's a nice bookend with Diddy 's -- then Puff Daddy -- first solo video, `` Ca n't Nobody Hold Me Down, '' which featured him and Mase introducing an era of big budget hip - hop while driving a Rolls convertible across the desert. '' While Ed Easton Jr. from 92.3 Now FM drew comparisons to Diddy 's earlier video for his 1997 hit single `` Been Around the World '', thus awarding the video six out of ten. However Easton was annoyed with the number of videos being released and said that fans were waiting for the actual album to be released.
