Composition
"I realized I shouldn't write music with the expectation that the productivity or achievement will fix my problems, but instead with the hope that my honest expression will move people the way music moves me...'Get Your Wish' is about that breakthrough, which was one of many that helped me through those years. Music started making me happy again."
"Get Your Wish" features Porter Robinson on vocals, effected to make himself sound higher pitched and more feminine. He stated that he felt that it was "easier to talk about painful subjects directly", and subsequently became fond of the effected voice.[5] The lyrics of the song reflect Robinson's views on depression and ego death.[6]
The song is synth-based. Robinson has stated he is a fan of Japanese culture, animation, and video games, and it has inspired his music. This is exemplified by the production of the "Shelter" music video which was written by Robinson and animated by A-1 Pictures, a Japanese animation studio.[7][8]
Music video
"Get Your Wish" and its music video were released simultaneously, with the video immediately available on Robinson's YouTube channel.
In the official music video, Robinson is seen on a platform covered in water. He pulls a microphone out of the water and begins to sing. The video cuts between Robinson singing and sitting and looking forlorn.[5] During the climax, a background behind the platform displays fireworks, intercut with Robinson singing underwater.
