I Wish You Would (Taylor Swift song)

"I Wish You Would" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her fifth studio album, 1989 (2014). She wrote and produced the song with Jack Antonoff, who developed the track from his initial sampling of the snare drums on Fine Young Cannibals' 1989 song "She Drives Me Crazy". A synth-pop and bubblegum song, "I Wish You Would" is instrumented by a staccato guitar lick, dense synths and snares, and layered vocals. The lyrics are about two ex-lovers longing for each other.

Several critics commended the production elements of "I Wish You Would" for featuring a nostalgic feel of the 1980s while sounding new, but a few others deemed it a weaker track for Swift. The song received certifications in Australia and the United Kingdom. Following a 2019 dispute regarding the ownership of Swift's back catalog, she re-recorded the song as "I Wish You Would (Taylor's Version)" for the re-recorded album 1989 (Taylor's Version) (2023). The re-recorded song charted at number 26 on the Billboard Global 200 and reached the top 40 in Canada, New Zealand, and the United States.
