"C'mon Billy" is a song by the English musician PJ Harvey, released on 3 July 1995 as the second single from her third studio album, To Bring You My Love (1995).[2] Produced, engineered, and mixed by Flood with Harvey as co-producer and engineer, it features the artist on vocals and guitar, John Parish on drums and percussion, Joe Gore on guitar, Sonia Slany on violin, Jocelyn Pook and Jules Singleton on viola, and Sian Bell on cello. The string arrangement is by Pete Thomas. The song is cited as being a clear example of Harvey's sound change since breaking from the PJ Harvey Trio.
The lyrics talk about a woman begging for 'Billy' to come home and meet his son.[3] Harvey's singing style has been described as "frantic purrs”.
