"'Wish'" is a song by American DJ Diplo featuring American rapper Trippie Redd. It was released on March 23, 2018, as a single from Diplo's EP 'California' (2018) and Redd's debut studio album 'Life's a Trip' (2018).
Composition
Trevor Smith of 'HotNewHipHop' described the style of the song as almost "bright and fast enough" to be pop radio-friendly, even though it has a dark subject matter. The song also features a "dreamy melody" from Diplo.
Music video
The official music video was released on April 25, 2018. It opens with Diplo and Trippie Redd posing on the balcony of a lavish mansion, before Redd goes inside and plays with a group of baby goats. He wanders inside the mansion, as he experiences psychedelic effects. Eventually, Redd swings from a chandelier surrounded by fireworks, as an escape from the goats.
An alternate music video was released in February 2020. This visual takes place in a warehouse and starts off with Trippie Redd seemingly killing clones of himself, through the use of visual effects, until a stand-in actor kills him by mistake. The video crew panics and attempts to call an ambulance, but the director suggests to "keep rolling", instead wrapping Redd's body with a trash bag and throwing it over a bridge.
