Background

"Homesick" is a pop song,[1] written by Frederick and Fridolin Nordsoe, Edwin Serrano and Latesha Marrow, and produced by Stuart Crichton.[2] It is a song that explores the emotions of being away from the people and things we love.[3] Walker told the Daily Mercury that "being homesick can mean many different things to people; for me it is missing New Zealand, the Gold Coast and my mum."[3] Prior to the release of From the Inside Out, Walker posted a video previewing the song on YouTube. Of "Homesick" he said, "This is a song that really grew for me from the very beginning...it seems like the stronger songs are the ones you always remember."[4] "Homesick" was sent to Australian contemporary hit radio on 25 October 2010.[5] A week later, it became the eighth most added song to Australian radio,[6] and the first most added song to New Zealand radio.[citation needed]

Chart performance

"Homesick" debuted at number 29 on the New Zealand Singles Chart on 8 November 2010, and peaked at number 21 on 13 December 2010.[7] The song was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ), for selling 7,500 copies.[8]

Music video and live performances

The accompanying music video for the single was directed by Robert Honti.[9] It opens with Walker lying on a sofa, followed by him, dressed in black, singing the song on different coloured backdrops. During Kayo's verse, Walker is dressed in denim while Kayo wears a jacket and a cap. The clip is interspersed with scenes of Walker and his love interest sharing intimate moments. The video ends with Walker again lying on the sofa.

Walker performed "Homesick" at a shopping mall in Mt Pleasant Shopping Centre in Mackay, Queensland on 5 December 2010.[3]
