The single was released in the United Kingdom on 29 March 1993, with the B-side " Ordinary World" (Acoustic). Le Bon and Taylor's ruffled Vivien Westwood shirts were likely a nod to the band's early New Romantic era.

These vignettes include a little girl seeing her parents together, an older couple who have survived a flood, an alcoholic woman putting some alcoholic powder into the blender and a man who is revealed to be a cross-dresser.Īlso seen in the video is a woman struggling underwater to break free of the chains that bind her. Shots of the band were filmed in the aquarium at the London Zoo these were interspersed with short vignettes of people "coming undone" in various ways. The "Come Undone" video was directed by Julien Temple.
He was at his home in Los Angeles, and was considering leaving the band at the time of the song's recording. The group's bassist, John Taylor, did not actually play bass or participate in the writing of this song. The lyrics were written by vocalist Simon Le Bon as a birthday gift for his wife, supermodel Yasmin Le Bon). The group's guitarist at the time, Warren Cuccurullo, is credited with developing the instrumentation for "Come Undone", most importantly its guitar hook, which he developed while trying to do a re-interpretation of " First Impression" from their 1990 album Liberty. It was also popular in the UK and other international markets. "Come Undone" proved to be the group's second consecutive US top ten hit single from The Wedding Album. Their broader outlook on life sums up the album's theme on "What It Feels Like (To Be Led)," with the admission that, "This may not be the road I would choose for me/but it still feels right somehow." It's a stunning yet authentic message that resonates with their fans in a major way and adds to their legacy.With their commercial and critical success reestablished by the previous single " Ordinary World", the second release from the album continued to showcase more of the band's entry into the Adult Contemporary genre. Dealing with these major life events leads the duo to new sounds - slower, acoustic, and jazzier - as well as new sentiments, such as Jennifer's lament, "I wish someone could take it all from me," on "Who I'm Gonna Be," and Jeromy's tearfully personal epithet, "How much farther must I go/till you say that I'm broken" on "Stop the Bleeding." Don't be fooled, though this is the same group that remained in the Christian spotlight for the better part of a decade with saccharine worship pop hits like "On My Cross" and "Watching Over Me." The turns in their lives have simply given them reason to reconnect with fans on a more intimate and mature level. In the three years since their last studio release, the group's core of Jeromy and Jennifer Deibler moved back and forth to Africa, Jennifer had her second child, and Jeromy was later given the shocking diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. If FFH sound more brazen, resilient, and triumphant on Wide Open Spaces, there's good reason.
