"I Will Wait" is a song by British folk rock band Mumford & Sons. The track was first released in the United States on August 7, 2012 as the lead single from the band's second studio album, Babel (2012).[1] This is their most successful song to date.

Contents

Background [edit]

During the year, the band had been releasing new songs from their second album online or performing them at concerts. Marcus Mumford told MTV that the song "reflects the band's hectic life on the road - which shaped the new album's sound."[2] Ted Dwane told Rolling Stone, "Being away so much for the last couple of years is inevitably a theme on the record, because it's something that we've all shared."[3] The song was played live in various forms through 2010-2011 under the working title 'Nothing Is Written'.

Reception [edit]

Critical reception [edit]

The song has received generally favourable reviews. Grady Smith of Entertainment Weekly gave the song a positive review, saying how the song "hearkens back to their Grammy-nomination-festooned single "The Cave" with its shouted refrain, triumphant horns, a driving kick drum, and an earnest lyric about a relationship so perfect it has Marcus Mumford kneeling down in reverence, raising his hands, and wishing for his mind to be "freed from the lies.""[4] Stephanie Middleton of The Celebrity Cafe said, "With untouched vocals and harmonies, the boys manage to create yet another genuine Mumford & Sons track."[5]

Katie Hasty of HitFix gave the song a B+, saying "Marcus is a softie, but he's got a problem with repetition," but also said "they bring it home when they jump up an octave and beat the hell out of the chorus." She concluded with, "This song could be really huge."[6] Liv Carter of Urban Country News awarded the song a 'thumbs-up'. Reviewing the song after it started receiving airplay at country radio, she called it "a perfect piece of folk-rock that more than deserves to be introduced to the wider country radio audience."[7] Rolling Stone magazine named the song the 13th best song of 2012.[8]

Commercial performance [edit]

The song sold 153,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release.[9] It is also their highest-charting song both in the US and the UK to date. It has sold over 2 million copies in the US as of April 2013, their second song to do so.[10]

Music video [edit]

The music video was directed by Fred & Nick.[11] It was filmed at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado.
