Critical response[]
"Come Into My World" received generally positive reviews from music critics. Chris True of Allmusic.com considered the song to be a highlight of Fever. NME drew comparisons between the track and "Can't Get You Out of My Head", writing "In fact ('...Head' is) so good that it crops up twice on 'Fever', the second time masquerading as another number called 'Come Into My World'. PopMatters gave it a positive review, noting that "'Come Into My World' is also a plea for love, even if Minogue begs the listener to 'Come . . . come . . . come into my world' and instructs to '[take] these hands that were made to touch and feel you'.

Music video[]
The video was directed by French director Michel Gondry and updated a concept he had already used for Neneh Cherry's "Feel It" music video. The video was shot in one on 8 September 2002 at the intersection of Rue du Point du Jour and Rue de Solférino, within the Boulogne-Billancourt suburb of Paris. Fifty extras were on hand, including Russian actor Sacha Bourdo. The video, which took fifteen days to design and digitally master, features Kylie strolling around the intersection. Every time she completes a full circle, a duplicate of her appears through one of the stores, and by the end of the video there are four distinct Kylie duplicates amidst an extremely chaotic scene with each background extra also depicted four times. The video ends with a fifth Kylie emerging as the start of a further iteration is glimpsed while the picture fades out.

Notes[]
Since it's release, "Come into My World" has been featured on most of Kylie's tours. It's first tour performance was on the KylieFever2002, which was launched to promote Fever. The song opened the show where Kylie would rise out of the floor encased in a gold metallic suit dubbed the "Kyborg". This would then peel open to reveal Kylie in a silver bra and skirt with matching boots and a choker. The next performance was on Kylie's 2005 greatest hits tour, which was launched to promote Ultimate Kylie. It was featured in the fifth act "Dreams" as a ballad following a cover of "Over the Rainbow". However, Kylie was forced to cancel the tour due to a diagnosis of breast cancer. However, in 2006, she continued the tour under a new name: Showgirl: The Homecoming Tour. The song was again featured the fifth act "Dreams" as a ballad.
The next performance was in 2008 when Kylie performed the "Fischerspooner Mix" on her KylieX2008 world tour. The song opened the "Naughty Manga Girl" act which was inspired by Japanese culture. The song was then included on her For You, For Me Tour in 2009, which was Kylie's first time touring North America. It served as the third song of the show, following performances of "Light Years" and "Speakerphone", all three songs remixed by Steve Anderson. The song was not part of the set list in her following three tours (Aphrodite: Les Folies Tour, Anti Tour and Kiss Me Once Tour), but were performed frequently as requests at the former and latter. The most recent performance of the song was at the 2016 shows of the Christmas concert series, where it was performed in the second act. A chorus of the song was used during the intro of Infinite Disco, alongside "Magic.
A new version of "Come into My World" was debuted during Kylie's More Than Just a Residency show in Las Vegas; it began with a variation of The Abbey Road Sessions version of the song, before segueing into a version akin to the For You, For Me version. This mix was also used in her festival shows throughout 2024, including her headline slot at British Summer Time in Hyde Park, as well as being included in the first act for the Tension Tour.

Lyrics[]
Come, come, come into my world
Won't you lift me up, up, high upon your love?
Take these arms that were made for loving
And this heart that will beat for two
Take these eyes that were meant for watching over you
And I've been such a long time waiting
For someone I can call my own
I've been chasing the life I'm dreaming
Now I'm home (I'm home)
I need your love
Like night needs morning
So won't you come, come, come into my world?
Won't you lift me up, up, high upon your, high upon your love?
Na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na na
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Take these lips that were made for kissing
And this heart that will see you through
And these hands that were made to touch and feel you
So free your love
Hear me, I'm calling
Oh, baby
Come, come, come into my world
Won't you lift me up, up, high upon your love?
Oh, baby, come, come, come into my world
Won't you lift me up, up, high upon your, high upon your love?
Na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na na
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na na
Na na na, na na na, na na na
I need your love
Like night needs morning
Oh, baby, come, come, come into my world
Won't you lift me up, up, high upon your love?
Oh, baby, come, come, come into my world
Won't you lift me up, up, high upon your, high upon your love?
Na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na na
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na na
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na na
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na na
Na na na, na na na, na na na
