"Come What May" is a song written by David Baerwald and Kevin Gilbert, originally intended for the film William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet. However, it debuted in, and is best known as the romantic love theme from, Baz Luhrmann's 2001 film Moulin Rouge!, in which Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman sing it in their respective roles as Christian and Satine. The song takes its title from a phrase that originates from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night (1601) and later appears Macbeth (1606). The song plays an important role in the film. After Christian and Satine's forbidden, strong, and close romantic relationship has been discovered, Christian pens this song and includes it in the musical he is currently writing. Each time either of them sings this song, they can secretly declare their equally deep and true romantic love for each other. The version of the song on the soundtrack album differs slightly from the version in the film. The lyrics "Every day I love you more and more" and "Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing/Telling me to give you everything" are part of the song on the soundtrack version. However, in the movie, they are replaced by a musical interlude the first time and, the second time, Satine sings instead of the latter part, "Come back to me and forgive everything." The single version can be found on the original soundtrack, while the original film version can be found on the follow-up soundtrack. It was released as a single in Australia where it became the eighth highest-selling single by an Australian artist of 2001. It was also released in Germany, and the UK, where it charted at #27.
