"Come Back Suzanne" is a song by the English rock musician Bill Wyman, released in March 1982 by A&M Records as a single from his eponymous third solo studio album.[1] Wyman described it as "a little bit Stonesy. This one hasn't got any cockney French on it."[2]
The song was written about Suzanne Accosta, whom would later become Wyman's third, and current wife.[3]
Critical reception
Donald Guarisco of AllMusic praised the song as one of the best on the album. He called it "a one-of-a-kind rock/disco/new wave hybrid that blends power chords with ethereal synth flourishes as Wyman delivers a tongue-in-cheek tale of lost love."[4] Susan Molloy of The Sydney Morning Herald considered its lyrics to be among Wyman's best and placed it as an album highlight.[5] Georgiy Starostin called "Come Back Suzanne" a "tongue-in-cheek disco parody (brilliant)."[6]
