Song information
edit"Love Comes" was released as a digital download on September 6, 2009, and in physical formats, including vinyl and CD, on September 7, 2009. It served as the lead single from the duo's album "Viva."

The single peaked on the UK Singles Chart at number 44.
Music video
editA music video for "Love Comes" was shot in London on 1 July 2009.[3] The video features Dallin and Woodward in various retro outfits, and has both outdoor and studio settings. The theme of the video is a reflection on various fashion magazines and trends, with each scene intended to be a different 'glamour shot'. The song lyrics are projected onto backgrounds, and onto the girls themselves in most of the scenes.
