"I Wish I Was Someone Better" is the sixth single by English alternative rock band Blood Red Shoes.

It was released on V2 Records on 29 October 2007, available on 7" vinyl or as a digital download via iTunes, and appears on the band's album Box of Secrets.

It is a prototypical example of the controlled, riff-based rock music that Blood Red Shoes are reputable for.

In contrast, the B-Side for the single, "The Way It Goes", is a more sedate song that is based entirely on overlapping vocal tracks.
