"Wherever You Are" is a song written by Paul Mealor and performed by the Military Wives Choir, sung by ladies from Chivenor and Plymouth under the direction of Gareth Malone.

The programme documented Malone's visits to Chivenor Barracks first and then a few months later to Royal Citadel, Plymouth – both in Devon, in which he formed two choirs of wives and partners of British military personnel deployed on active service in the Afghanistan War.

He tweeted "Just heard the Military Wives single gets released in the US today,", posting a link to the official video.

The Sun reported that the former Britain's Got Talent judge invited the choir to perform on his US show Piers Morgan Tonight.

It was set to music by composer Paul Mealor, who is noted for his composition of a choral work sung at the Royal Wedding in 2011.

[11] In the traditional, competitive speculation in the run-up to Christmas, the Military Wives single was said to be in competition for the title with the X Factor winners Little Mix, who released a cover version of Damien Rice's "Cannonball", a campaign to promote the 2011 re-release of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to number one, a campaign to highjack the Christmas Number 1 spot by British YouTube vlogger Alex Day named Forever Yours and a campaign fronted by Chris Moyles from BBC Radio 1 to hijack the Christmas #1 with Dominick the Donkey.

[13] In mid-December 2011 it was reported that "Wherever You Are" had broken sales records in becoming the most pre-ordered music item ever on the UK Amazon website.
