Wish You Were Here (Rednex song)

Written by Teijo Agélii-Leskelä and produced by Denniz Pop and Max Martin, the ballad is performed by lead singer Annika Ljungberg and was released as the third single of the album in April 1995.

[5] Howard Cohen for The Miami Herald viewed it as one of "a few melodramatic instances" on the Sex & Violins album.

[6] Pan-European magazine Music & Media remarked that it focuses on a totally different side by the band, adding, "It's a ballad, sung with lots of Dolly-patented vibrato and pathos.

"[7] David Nagy from Red Deer Advocate wrote, "Just when the hillbilly party gets going, the band throws a contemporary pop ballad at you, and thoughts of ABBA come to mind.

It entered the top 5 also in Iceland (2) and Sweden (3), as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100, where it peaked at number five in July 1995.

[9] It shows a woman, played by lead singer Annika Ljungberg, sitting in a meadow, singing to her man, a soldier who has been killed in a war.
