Your Eyes or Come Back 2 Me is an unknown italodance song, supposedly dating back to the early 2000s. The song has had passed most of its lifetime on the Chinese side of the Internet.

Origins

Your eyes originated in 2003, on a since defunct Chinese music website. As music was often shared via P2P services such as Kazaa or LimeWire in this time period, the song was uploaded to many websites, such as 666c.com, or real2000.org. Your Eyes appeared on a compilation, created by an at-the-time unknown DJ, titled 新歌热舞 专辑 359. This roughly translates to Hot New Dance Song Album 359. The file containing Your Eyes was named 欧美抒情高档 Pop, which translates to European and American high-end lyrical Pop. There were no indications of an artist, title or even county of origin within this file or the compilation.

The compilation is in itself mysterious since many of the songs on it are Eurodance hits, possibly from Italy, but seem to originate on the Chinese web. It has been alleged that there are other mysterious songs on the compilation but at present, there is no notable search for these songs. Analysis of the original upload of Your Eyes by user JayRidders on reddit proved that this recording has a PAL encoding, meaning it was recorded from a colour TV in a region that includes China (as well as Australia, India and parts of East Africa).

Around 2004, the song was being widely shared on Chinese file sharing websites such as hcdj.com and QQMusic.com. This version of the file has become known as the "Low Quality Version".

Rediscovery in 2009

In 2009, DaRioXYK posted the song to Youtube with the title "unknown italodance", not specifing where he got the song from.
