Since it was first previewed back in October 2017, Trippie Redd fans had been eagerly awaiting Diplo to drop “Wish,” as Trippie told his fans that it was going on Diplo’s upcoming California EP and it was up to Diplo to decide when to release the song. Once the song and EP finally released on March 23, 2018, significant changes were made to the mix of “Wish,” with Trippie’s vocals being much quieter and background vocals being removed. This was likely as the newer mix puts more focus on Diplo’s instrumental compared to Trippie’s vocals, making it better suited for Diplo’s project.

This new mix upset many Trippie fans, along with Trippie himself, who posted to his Instagram story that day, saying:

Just cried about wish being changed 💔 hurts my soul to have my song rearranged and tampered with when I had it perfectly how I wanted sorry I have failed u guys and I’ll try my best to fix it back.

Trippie delivered on his promise, with the original mix of the song (labeled the “Trippie Mix”) appearing on his debut studio album, LIFE’S A TRIP.
