You Can Come to Me: A Deep Dive into a Song That Defined an Era (Well, Maybe Our Era)
Ah, Austin & Ally. The Disney Channel show that launched a thousand dreams (of becoming a pop star, writing hit songs in your basement, and maybe dating Trish from So Random!). But amongst the catchy tunes and wacky hijinks, one song truly stood out: You Can Come to Me.
This wasn't your average bubblegum pop. This song had depth! (Okay, maybe not Pulitzer Prize-winning depth, but for a Disney Channel bop, it was practically Shakespearean.) So, the burning question remains: in which glorious episode did Austin Moon and Ally Dawson bless our ears with this masterpiece?
The Answer, Revealed at Last (Drumroll Please...)
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.
Brace yourselves, because this might blow your mind. You Can Come to Me actually DIDN'T appear in a single episode! **** Instead, it was the theme song for the entire series. I know, right? We were all so busy obsessing over Dez's interdimensional shenanigans that we completely missed the musical gold right under our noses.
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
What Episode Of Austin And Ally Do They Sing You Can Come To Me |
But Wait, There's More!
Now, there is a REPRISE of You Can Come to Me in the episode "Real Life & Reel Life" (season 4, episode 13). This heartwarming rendition happens after Trish (because of course it involves Trish) gets super stressed about directing a music video. Austin, ever the supportive boyfriend (when he wasn't busy chasing werewolves), serenades her with a sweet acoustic version of the song. It's a cute moment, but it doesn't quite capture the epic pop glory of the original theme song.
Tip: Read at your natural pace.

Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
So, even though it wasn't technically an episode song, You Can Come to Me became an iconic part of the Austin & Ally experience. It's the song that soundtracked countless homework sessions, singalongs in the car, and maybe even a tear or two shed over a bad grade (or a failed audition for the school musical).
