Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers' Here Comes My Girl was released in 1980 as the third single from their breakthrough Damn the Torpedoes. The song emerged during a particularly creative period for the band, following the success of their previous singles Don't Do Me Like That and Refugee. Written by Tom Petty and Mike Campbell during late-night recording sessions, it showcases a unique blend of spoken-word verses and melodic choruses that was inspired by both The Byrds' folk-rock style and the narrative storytelling of Bruce Springsteen.
