The sun goes down, the stars come out
And all that counts, is here and now
My universe, will never be the same
I'm glad you came (Came, Came)
And all that counts, is here and now
My universe, will never be the same
I'm glad you came (Came, Came)
You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no one else can see you and me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no one else can see you and me
Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink, drink it if you can
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink, drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time?
Time is slipping away, away from us so stay
Stay with me I can make, make you glad you came
Time is slipping away, away from us so stay
Stay with me I can make, make you glad you came
The sun goes down, the stars come out
And all that counts, is here and now
My universe, will never be the same
I'm glad you came, I'm glad you came
And all that counts, is here and now
My universe, will never be the same
I'm glad you came, I'm glad you came
You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no one else can see you and me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no one else can see you and me
Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink, drink it if you can
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink, drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time?
Time is slipping away, away from us so stay
Stay with me I can make, make you glad you came
Time is slipping away, away from us so stay
Stay with me I can make, make you glad you came
The sun goes down, the stars come out
And all that counts, is here and now
My universe, will never be the same
I'm glad you came, I'm glad you came
And all that counts, is here and now
My universe, will never be the same
I'm glad you came, I'm glad you came
(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
I'm glad you came (Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
I'm glad you came (Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
So glad you came (Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
So glad you came (Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
I'm glad you came (Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
I'm glad you came (Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)

I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
The sun goes down, the stars come out
And all that counts, is here and now
My universe, will never be the same
I'm glad you came, I'm glad you came (Came, Came, Came)
And all that counts, is here and now
My universe, will never be the same
I'm glad you came, I'm glad you came (Came, Came, Came)

AboutGlad You Came" is a song by British-Irish boy band The Wanted, taken as the second single from their second studio album, Battleground. It was released on 10 July 2011. The song was written by Steve Mac, Wayne Hector and Ed Drewett, and was produced by Steve Mac. It peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart and the same position on the Irish Singles Chart and the Japan Hot 100, as well as number two in Canada and number three in the United States, becoming their most successful single to date.
The music video was created by Director X and was filmed in Ibiza, Spain. It sees the band on the beach, in a club and at a house party each with an individual woman. It was uploaded to YouTube on 10 June 2011. Jay McGuiness revealed to MTV UK: "The theory of the video was take The Wanted to Ibiza and just film everything and then just cut bits that were useable. But the girls were models, they weren't just girls we picked." However Max George admitted: "Actually no, the girl I had to spend time with was just literally picked up off the street after a night out." The video has achieved over 125 million views on YouTube, becoming their most watched video on the site. It also starred a cameo from footballer John-Joe O'Toole.
"Glad You Came" debuted at number one in Ireland, making it the band's first number-one single in the country. The song was at number one for five weeks. In the United Kingdom, the song debuted at number one with first-week sales of over 117,000 copies, becoming the band's second number-one single in the UK. As of April 2014, it is their biggest-selling single to date with 590,000 copies sold in the UK.
In Australia the song was certified Gold for shipping 35,000 copies. In the United States, the song became their first to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number three for four non-consecutive weeks after it was covered on the television series Glee, and becoming the highest American chart entry by a British boy band, surpassing Take That who peaked at number seven with "Back for Good" in November 1995. This record was broken by fellow British-Irish boy band One Direction when their single "Best Song Ever" peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 in July 2013. As of May 2013, the song has sold 3,600,000 copies in the United States. The song was the best-selling song by a boy band in digital history before One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful" overtook its sales in July 2012. "Glad You Came" is to date The Wanted's only top 40 hit in the United States
