Background and composition
WurlD announced "Wishes and Butterflies" in the buildup for his second studio album, 'Love is Contagious' (2019).
In a press release before the release of the album, he said Love Is Contagious Is A Conversation About Love, From The Infatuation Stage To Drowning In The Emotion To The Commitment Stage.
"Wishes and Butterflies" is an R&B inspired song and was produced by Shizzi. The song began with an arresting layer of jazzy notes, played sensually on the bass guitar. WurlD sang about needing real love, not someone who will simply sell him dreams. In the song, he described a bitter-sweet romance, one that he admits fills him with loathing, but he can't help but continue to pine for it. The track is a bluesy folk love song and over a mix of bass guitar riffs, sweeping organ harmonies and scatting drum riffs. He sang I Need Love/ That Bitter Sweet Killer Romantic Though I Hate To Love You But Id Never Find A Greater Kind of Love Baby.
