"Coming Home (To Richmond)" is re-working of Coming Home released on 21 February 2014.[2] The song was used by the Australian Football League team Richmond as their official membership campaign. A music video was also released which takes viewers though the game-day experience of Tiger fans – a grandfather and granddaughter, a group of friends, a dad and his young son, a family at home, as well as player, Brandon Ellis.[3]

Proceeds from the song's sales went towards Richmond's charity partner The Alannah and Madeline Foundation, which assists and protects children against violence and bullying.[4]
