| quote = "I realized I shouldn't write music with the expectation that the productivity or achievement will fix my problems, but instead with the hope that my honest expression will move people the way music moves me...'Get Your Wish' is about that breakthrough, which was one of many that helped me through those years. Music started making me happy again."

}}"Get Your Wish" features Porter Robinson on vocals, effected to make himself sound higher pitched and more feminine. He stated that he felt that it was "easier to talk about painful subjects directly", and subsequently became fond of the effected voice.{{Cite web |date=January 29, 2020 |title=Porter Robinson explains the meaning of 'Get Your Wish' |url=https://thegroovecartel.com/news/porter-robinson-explains-meaning-get-your-wish/ |access-date=January 30, 2020 |website=The Groove Cartel |archive-date=November 17, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231117165948/https://thegroovecartel.com/news/porter-robinson-explains-meaning-get-your-wish/ |url-status=live }} The lyrics of the song reflect Robinson's views on depression and ego death.{{Cite web |last=Yoo |first=Noah |date=January 31, 2020 |title=Listen to "Get Your Wish" by Porter Robinson |url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/porter-robinson-get-your-wish/ |access-date=February 6, 2020 |website=Pitchfork |archive-date=August 17, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240817014258/https://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/porter-robinson-get-your-wish/ |url-status=live }}

The song is synth-based. Robinson has stated he is a fan of Japanese culture, animation, and video games, and it has inspired his music. This is exemplified by the production of the "Shelter" music video which was written by Robinson and animated by A-1 Pictures, a Japanese animation studio.{{Cite web|url=https://kotaku.com/drama-over-music-video-ignites-argument-about-what-anim-1787972349|title=Drama Over Music Video Inflames Argument About What Anime Is|website=Kotaku|access-date=January 30, 2020|archive-date=August 17, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240817014302/https://kotaku.com/drama-over-music-video-ignites-argument-about-what-anim-1787972349|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|url=https://edmidentity.com/2016/11/01/shelter-the-story-of-rin/|title=Shelter - The story of Rin from Porter Robinson and Madeon|last=Schaitel|first=Matt "MyStro"|date=November 1, 2016|website=EDM Identity|access-date=January 30, 2020}}

Music video

"Get Your Wish" and its music video were released simultaneously, with the video immediately available on Robinson's YouTube channel.
