==Background==
"Homecoming" serves as a tribute to Kanye West's hometown of Chicago, Illinois. By using an extended metaphor that personifies the city as a childhood sweetheart named Windy, West rhymes about his love for Chicago and his guilt over leaving "her" to pursue his musical dream. West's opening and closing lines lyrically reference "I Used to Love H.E.R.," a similar metaphoric hip-hop song written by his close friend, label-mate, and fellow Chicago rapper Common, who would later make two cameo appearances in the single's music video.
The lyrics for "Homecoming" were originally recorded by Kanye West with GOOD Music recording artist John Legend singing a different chorus on a song called "Home." This track circulated on West's 2003 mixtape ''Get Well Soon...'' as well as on the advance copy of ''The College Dropout'', which was never released due to a leak.〔 The original version possesses West's once trademark soulful vocal sample-based hip-hop production style.〔 "Homecoming" contains lyrics that are different than John Legend's because Chris Martin requested that Kanye West change the song's lyrical content.
