The phrase was something very common that we have heard in recent years thanks to the Skylar Grey hit “Coming Home” that has been constantly sampled and used in tribute videos, so when LeBron announced his decision we knew that phrase would be used in headlines.
However, never did we expect to hear from Skylar Grey herself.
That all changed after the LeBron James announcement, with Grey going to her YouTube channel to deliver a tribute of her own to LeBron.
Grey sang a special rendition of “Coming Home” that she recorded on her iPhone with the lyrics, “I know Cleveland awaits, they’ve forgiven my mistakes. I’m coming home. I’m coming home. Tell the world that I’m coming…”
She then finished with, “welcome home, LeBron.”
