Speaking to Amazon, Swift explained the song’s inspiration and meaning:

“‘Wi$h Li$t’ is a song about all the different dreams people have. You know, we live in such a sort of visually curated moment where you get to see everybody’s lives play out online and what vacations they have and what things they want and what items they want to buy. And it feels like everybody has different priorities. And it’s kind of about exploring all those different lives that people want and all those different aspirations that people have, but knowing that you have your own set of wishes. and it doesn’t have to be like everybody else’s and theirs doesn’t have to be like yours and everybody, you just hope everybody gets their wishes but these are yours.” 

– Taylor Swift, via Amazon Music

‘Wi$h Li$t” is certified Gold in Australia, Silver in the UK and Platinum in Canada.
