David Porter and Isaac Hayes got together to write music. At one point, Porter went to the bathroom. Hayes got impatient and told him to come out so they could get back to writing. Porter yelled “Hold on, I’m comin’“ and they quickly realized that would be a great song title.

You’re the second person to say that. I wasn’t sure anyone would get the reference.
