The "Come Undone" video was directed by Julien Temple. Shots of the band were filmed in the aquarium at the London Zoo; these were interspersed with short vignettes of people "coming undone" in various ways. These vignettes include a little girl seeing her parents together, an older couple who have survived a flood, an alcoholic woman putting some alcoholic powder into the blender and a man who is revealed to be a cross-dresser.
Also seen in the video is a woman struggling underwater to break free of the chains that bind her. This was the single's official B-side in the UK. The US were luckier. Across a myriad of formats Capitol put out no less than three new B-sides - " Time for Temptation ", " Stop Dead " and an alternate mix of " Fallen Angel ".
For collectors, the US releases also contained an alternate mix of " To The Shore " and the first appearance on CD of " The Chauffeur Blue Silver called "acoustic demo" here, due to the dreadful sound quality. CD One faired slightly better with the beautiful acoustic rendition of " Ordinary World " propping up three mixes of the title track.

With their commercial and critical success reestablished by the previous single " Ordinary World ", "Come Undone" continued to showcase more of the band's entry into the Adult Contemporary genre. It was also popular in the UK and other international markets.
The group's guitarist at the time, Warren Cuccurullo , is credited with developing the instrumentation for "Come Undone", most importantly its guitar hook, which he developed while trying to do a re-interpretation of "First Impression" from their album Liberty.
In , Cuccurullo revealed to author Steve Malins that he and Nick Rhodes had originally planned on using the song for a project outside of Duran Duran with Gavin Rossdale , but had changed plans when singer Simon Le Bon took a liking to the music and began to come up with lyrics on the spot.
The group's bassist, John Taylor, did not actually play bass on this track, although he does in the music video. Nick Rhodes and John Jones both contributed synth bass on the track during his absence. Tessa Niles was credited with backing vocals. According to John Jones , "at the time we had completed and mastered the Wedding Album and had started the cover album "Thank You".
One day we took the drum loop and bass groove from a demo of mine called "Face to Face" and added the ultra cool guitar riff that Warren had come up with for a new "cover" version of "First Impression". After a couple of hours of tweaking we played the track over the phone to Capitol in Los Angeles and they loved it and said they wanted it on the Wedding album! When Nick arrived that afternoon the intro was carved into a song that we played to Simon that night.
He was back the next day with the lyrics and the melody and I think we finished the vocals the day after that. On the fourth day we finished the track detail and sent it to David Richards in Switzerland to be mixed. There is a cover version of it out there called "Cloud 9" by Alan Frew ".
