"Here Comes A Song" is the 2nd Wiggles album and it was released on April 10, 1992.

This was the first time The Wiggles appeared in their coloured skivvies. Jeff wore black in this album, but switched to purple soon after. Anthony also wore a light blue skivvy in this album, but would switch between green until 1996.

Phillip Wilcher, who left shortly after the release of the band's first album from 1991, was supposed to stay as a behind-the-scenes writer for this album, but at a Neil Diamond concert, was told by Anthony Field that the album had been recorded while Phillip was away, and was not needed.
