Hayley Kiyoko comes through with her new single titled I Wish. Arriving with the official music video, the singer can be seen in a school uniform-clad Kiyoko behind the wheel, “I Wish” transcends the land of chalkboards and hopscotch to a higher, magical realm — as in, a literal attic where actual, beautiful witchery occurs.
The video stars Maia Mitchell, Madison Pettis, Ana Osorio and Tamika Miller alongside Kiyoko.
“We butt heads / You don’t pay me no attention / And you’re selfish with your affection,” Hayley Kiyoko complains bitterly to a quick, heavy beat in the opening verse. But on the refrain, she slips into a sound of longing, climbing a lightly vocoded octave to a more vulnerable space: “I wish, I wish, I wish I found love,” she sings twice. “‘Cause I wake up in the morning-time, and there’s nobody here by my side.”
Cause I wake up up in the morning time
And there’s nobody here by my side
I Wish I Wish I Wish I Found Love
Sometimes I wonder if you ever will let me in
I wonder if I’m ever gonna find somebody
I cry and I cry and I cry and I cry to heaven
Why won’t you just send me somebody?
Kiyoko released her debut album Expectations last spring. Last month, she made a cameo in Taylor Swift’s star-studded “You Need to Calm Down” music video.
