Track DescriptionAvailable in:
"Wish I Could Fly" is a song by the Swedish pop duo Roxette. Released in February 1999, it was the first single from their sixth studio album Have a Nice Day.
In the UK, the single peaked at #11, which was Roxette's highest position for a single since their 1993 hit "Almost Unreal" (#7). The single also made the Top 10 in Sweden and Finland, Top 20 in Austria, Switzerland and Norway, Top 30 in Germany and the Top 40 in the Netherlands.
While the album Have a Nice Day wasn't released in the U.S. Roxette signed a distribution deal with Edel Music, enabling "Wish I Could Fly" to peak at #27 on the U.S. Adult Contemporary Chart in 2000.
The song was also a considerable radio hit, becoming the most played song in Europe in 1999.[citation needed]. A Spanish-language version of the song, "Quisiera Volar", was included on the South American release of the album.
Unlike most Roxette songs, this song has a video that has been described as NSFW due to its images of a couple (neither of whom is in the band) in an apparently sexual situation.
