The story of Calvin Harris Feat. Example
Why we feature this artist
A direct voice over an arrangement built to return
“We’ll Be Coming Back” brings Example’s firm, conversational singing into Calvin Harris’s 2012 production. The record combines a clear vocal statement with a larger melodic instrumental, giving the song two different ways to establish its identity. Example’s delivery keeps the feeling grounded while the surrounding track reaches for a broader electronic scale.
A shared 2012 chapter
The collaboration belongs to the period of Harris’s 18 Months and Example’s The Evolution of Man. The song fits both catalogues without making either artist anonymous: Harris supplies the expansive production, while Example brings the kind of direct phrasing that connects his pop and rhythmic writing.
The original release includes an extended mix alongside the concise single form. That gives the melody more room to develop around the voice, while the shorter version makes the song’s outline immediately clear.
The hook returns in another form
The production lets the instrumental carry a large part of the melodic payoff. Because Example has already established a clear emotional stance, those passages can feel like an extension of the sung material rather than a separate attraction attached to it.
The track’s effectiveness is in that continuity. A phrase delivered at close range can become a much larger instrumental gesture without losing its connection to the song. “We’ll Be Coming Back” preserves Example’s plain-spoken presence inside Harris’s polished production, giving the repeated returns a sense of purpose as well as impact.
