Come Along Now is the international album released by successful Greek singer Despina Vandi in 2005. It was later repackaged and released in Greece in 2006 by Heaven Music. The album proved to be highly successful, producing three international hit singles.

[edit] Singles

Come Along Now spawned many international hit singles. The first of which is Gia, which not only charted around the world, but also topped the Billboard Hot Dance Airplay for two weeks (week beginning 18 January 2004; 8 February 2004), making it the first non-English song to do so.

The next single was the title track, Come Along Now, which was chosen as the worldwide song to accompany all of Coca Cola's 2004 Olympics campaigns.

Opa Opa was the next hit single, which also attracted many remixes by some of the world's foremost DJs.

Other songs, although not officially released as singles, still managed to gain significant airplay and became immensly popular in European clubs include I Believe It (an English version of the hit "Olo Lipis") and C'est La Vie (an English version of the hit "Simera").

All three singles reached #1 on the Australian Singles Chart, leading Vandi to repackage Come Along Now and release it in Australia as Gia (although notably this should not be confused with Gia, her previous Greek album). Both Gia and Opa Opa were also named Record of the Week on BBC Radio 1.
