"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.

Composition

The lyrics of "We Come 1", sung by Maxi Jazz, possess a theme of unity. In the song, the narrator sings to someone upon which he is dependent, but this dependency is not based on external factors. Instead, this person provides internal inspiration, including the narrator's purpose in life. Whenever the two individuals are together, they are able to cooperate to stand for or against an ambiguous concept that the song does not identify. The relationship between the two people is also left vague, but the narrator's message insists that whenever they team up, they are one complete entity, and the narrator believes that his other half is what he stands for.[4]

Primarily, "We Come 1" advocates all people to consolidate. During live performances of the song, Maxi Jazz often urged the audience to take care of their brethren, stating, "We're all we got."[4] Sister Bliss said in an interview with Bulgaria's MMTV that "We Come 1" is a humane track that illustrates the relationships between everything on the planet. As a result, Sister Bliss stated that protecting these relationships is what keeps concepts such as nature and the environment viable, saying, "We must come one otherwise our future is in peril."[4]

Critical reception

Miriam Hubner of Music & Media called "We Come 1" a "fervent love song" and called its production "smooth".[5] 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".[6] 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).[7]
