"Wish I Could Fly" is a song by the Swedish pop duo Roxette. Released in February 1999, it was the first single from their sixth studio album Have a Nice Day.
In the UK, the single peaked at #11, which was Roxette's highest position for a single since their 1993 hit "Almost Unreal" (#7). The single also achieved considerable success in Italy, where it peaked in the top ten, being one of only three Roxette songs to do so in their entire career.
While the album Have a Nice Day wasn't released in the U.S. Roxette signed a distribution deal with Edel Music, enabling "Wish I Could Fly" to peak at #27 on the U.S. Adult Contemporary Chart in 2000.
The song was also a considerable radio hit, becoming the most played song in Europe in 1999.. A Spanish-language version of the song, "Quisiera Volar", was included on the South American release of the album.
