"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).
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. [1] The song also features a "dreamy melody" from Diplo. [2]
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. [3] [4] He wanders inside the mansion,as he experiences psychedelic effects. [3] [5] [6] Eventually,Redd swings from a chandelier surrounded by fireworks,as an escape from the goats. [3] [4] [5]
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. [7]
