"I Will Wait" is a song by English 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). This is their most successful song to date surpassing their biggest hits, "Little Lion Man" and "The Cave".
Reception
Critical reception
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."" Stephanie Middleton of The Celebrity Cafe said, "With untouched vocals and harmonies, the boys manage to create yet another genuine Mumford & Sons track."
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." 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."Rolling Stone magazine named the song the 13th best song of 2012.
"I Will Wait" is a song by American singer and songwriter Nick Carter. The song was released in U.S and Canada as a digital download on September 12, 2015. It was the first single from his third solo album All American.
Background
"When I wrote the song, I think we wrote it with the intention going back to what the Backstreet Boys and what we were known for, which is love songs. As a writer and an artist, sometimes as your career goes on, you try to make points, and you try to be overly creative." Nick Carter said, "I just wanted to go back to the basics, and tap into what our fans knew us for." He also claimed this song was inspired by Ed Sheeran's songwriting.
Music video
The music video for "I Will Wait" was filmed and released on YouTube and Vevo on September 22, 2015. Nick stated that the inspiration of the video was based on The Notebook.
Live performance
On November 24, Carter first performed the song on the finale of Dancing with the Stars, where he was one of the four finalists.
Musical Chairs is the third studio album by the band Hootie & the Blowfish, released on September 15, 1998. Three singles were released off the album: "I Will Wait", "Only Lonely", and "Wishing".

And I will wait, I will wait for you
Now I'll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So take my flesh
And fix my eyes
A tethered mind free from the lies
And I'll kneel down
Wait for now
I'll kneel down
Know my ground, woo
Raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Keep my heart slow
'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

When I am tired You bring me comfort (I will wait; I will wait for You) When I am weak You give me strength (I will wait; I will wait for You) When I can’t walk You give me wings like an eagle (I will wait; I will wait for You) When I’m alone You bring me peace (I will wait) I will wait for Your mercy I will wait for Your plan to unfold I will wait for Your mercies are new every morning When I am wounded You heal my broken bones (I will wait; I will wait for You) And when I sing You fill my heart with joy (I will wait; I will wait for You) And when I fear the unknown You give me peace (I will wait; I will wait for You) And when I call, You always answer me (I will wait) We wait for You like watchmen wait for morning We wait for You like creation waits for spring We wait for You knowing sometimes without warning You reveal Your plan in ways that maybe we don’t understand Behind the Song:
