The song "Wish You Were Here" by Neck Deep

The song was written by vocalist Ben Barlow and bassist Fil Thorpe-Evans. In an interview with *Kerrang!*, they revealed that the track stemmed from a shared experience of loss. Fil Thorpe-Evans recounted that he had recently lost his father. While still grieving, he received news that a childhood friend had also passed away in an accident. This series of events led him into a "strange phase of reflection," which is where the writing of the song began. While Ben Barlow wrote the chorus, Fil worked on the music and the verses. Both understood that sense of loss and poured it into something deeply personal. #WishYouWereHerebyNeckDeep
