"'Wrecked'" is a song by American band Imagine Dragons. It was released through Interscope and Kidinakorner on July 2, 2021, as the second single from their fifth studio album, 'Mercury Act 1'. It was written by band members Dan Reynolds, Wayne Sermon, Ben McKee, and Daniel Platzman, who also produced it.
Background
The song was inspired by lead singer Dan Reynolds sister-in-law (his brother's wife), Alisha Durtschi Reynolds, who died from cancer, Reynolds said in a press: "She was the brightest light. A beacon of joy and strength for everyone she met. Her sudden passing has shaken me in ways that I still am unable to express. I was with her and my brother when she passed, and it was the first time in my life that I had witnessed death in this way. It sealed into my mind the fragility of life and finality of this all. Ive watched my brother face something that no one should have to. But Ive also seen his faith bring him hope in a future with her. I can only hope for the same."
He described the song was his "way of dealing with it all, as music has always been my refuge. No longer being a man of fervent faith, I can only hope that she hears it somewhere in a place where she is healed and no longer in pain. This song is my wish for an eternity with those that I love."
