"Go Home" is a 1986 hit single released by American and Motown musician Stevie Wonder released on the Tamla (Motown) label. The song showcased the narrator's plea to a young woman to go home, though the girl tries to get the narrator to stay with her. In the U.S., the song became another #1 adult contemporary hit for Wonder and reached #10 on the pop singles chart. As of 2011[update], it is Wonder's last song to reach the U.S. top ten on the Billboard pop chart. The song also peaked at #2 on the R&B chart and topped the dance chart in 1986.
This song was performed at the 1985 Grammy Awards Ceremony in Los Angeles, California, in the famous synthesizer jam with other contemporaries Herbie Hancock, Howard Jones and Thomas Dolby.[1]
Instrumental group Groovopolis led by guitarist Chris Cortez, covered the song from their self-titled first and only album in 2002.[2][3]
