An official music video was released alongside the single, and features Robinson singing on a wet platform, seemingly walking on water.

Composition

"I realized I shouldn't write music with the expectation that the productivity or achievement will fix my problems, but instead with the hope that my honest expression will move people the way music moves me...'Get Your Wish' is about that breakthrough, which was one of many that helped me through those years. Music started making me happy again."

 — Robinson in a letter to his fans. [5]

"Get Your Wish" features Porter Robinson on vocals, effected to make himself sound higher pitched and more feminine. He stated that he felt that it was "easier to talk about painful subjects directly", and subsequently became fond of the effected voice. [6] The lyrics of the song reflect Robinson's views on depression and ego death. [7]

The song is synth-based. Robinson has stated he is a fan of Japanese culture, animation, and video games, and it has inspired his music. This is exemplified by the production of the "Shelter" music video which was written by Robinson and animated by A-1 Pictures, a Japanese animation studio. [8] [9]

Music video
