Background and release
"Will You Wait for Me?" was recorded during mid-1998 and was released as a single on 8 March 1999.[2] It is Kavana's favourite song on the second album. He said in an interview, "This song is one of my favourites on the album (Instinct), actually – I've never done a ballad before! It's about a friend of mine who died of cancer, and writing it was great therapy in a way. Hopefully, this is the defining one for me."[3] It was produced by Absolute.[1]
