"Wish You Were Here" is a song by Australian singer–songwriter Delta Goodrem. It was sent to Australian radio on 4 October 2012, and was released digitally on 12 October 2012 and as a CD single on 19 October 2012. The song is the third single released from Goodrem's fourth studio album Child of the Universe.

Background and composition

{{Quote box|width=25%|align=left|quote="I hope this song means something to others that have been through the pain of losing someone special. It’s about keeping the memory alive and honouring a life lost. Writing this song has been very therapeutic in helping me grieve for my friend. I still think about him every day."|source=—Goodrem expressing her hope about the song.[1]}}

In July 2009, one of Goodrem's lifelong friends, Liam O'Flaherty, was involved in a motorbike accident which took his life. Goodrem was very devastated upon learning the death of O'Flaherty, who was only 24 when he died.[2] While writing materials for her upcoming album, Goodrem worked with Gary Clark and wrote "Wish You Were Here" as a tribute to remember O'Flaherty.[3][4] During the single's press release, Delta opened up about the genesis of the song, stating

"I tried a million different ways to write this song. I had to have a song about this moment in my life of losing one of my best friends. Then on his actual birthday, it was two years later, I said I’m not leaving this day without having the song about it. You can try a million ways, I wrote probably 20 songs about it, and then on his actual birthday, I wrote this song."[5]

In an interview with PopSugar, Goodrem admitted that "Wish You Were Here" was one of the best songs that she has ever written.[6] Lyrically, the song narrates about the feelings and emotions Goodrem was feeling when she found out about the accident that killed him and her struggles to move on.

Critical reception

In a positive review from the website Spotlight Report, the track was labelled as an "amazing song on so many levels. Musically, it soars from Delta sitting alone at the piano, to a symphony of strings and voices. Delta delivers a dynamic, unique and breathtaking vocal performance – it's the singer in spine-tingling full voice." [7]
