The song was written by band members Tim McEwan and Tyler Lyle and produced by McEwan. It has a running time of five minutes and 21 seconds and is in the key of C major.

The Comeback Kid was used in McEwan's 2016 Sonic Academy course Synthwave With The Midnight, which breaks down the song's composition, techniques, and plug-ins used.[2] It was also one of the four songs whose stems were made available to download during the first The Midnight Remix Radio competition.

Lyrics

Early The Comeback Kid art
Early The Comeback Kid graphic

i been so low
felt the wind blow
like i was a screen door
in a thunderstorm

yeah i've been down
i've been laid out
but you always were
what I came here for

waiting all day
waiting all day
just for my say
for a bell to ring
for the first sting

Yeah I been blue
that ain’t nothing new
it’s you my friend
you’re why I get up again

I’ve make mistakes
I’ve been hard hit
I say so what
so what if I did
I’m the clear eyed
I’m the
comeback kid
start it over
start it over again
I'm the clear eyed
I'm the comeback kid

it’s been a rough year
been some tough tears
I’ve lost so fast
all that I had

but when it’s time to
i will fight for you
cause you know you are are
why i’ve come so far

I’ve make mistakes
I’ve been hard hit
I say so what
so what if I did
I’m the clear eyed
I’m the
comeback kid
start it over
start it over again
I'm the clear eyed
I'm the comeback kid
