If He Wanted to He Would

"If He Wanted to He Would" is a song by American country music singer Kylie Morgan. It was released on July 25, 2022, as Morgan's debut single to country radio. It was initially included on her EP, P.S. (2022), and later served as the lead to her debut studio album, Making It up as I Go (2023). Morgan co-wrote the song with Zandi Holup and Ben Johnson, and it was produced by Johnson with Shane McAnally.

Background
Kylie Morgan was inspired to write "If He Wanted to He Would" around the titular phrase after seeing it used on social media platforms, notably TikTok. She also made a connection with singer-songwriter Zandi Holup through the app, which led to her reaching out to enlist her help with co-writing, and the two met in March 2021. Morgan felt the song was darker than initially intended, so they later enlisted the help of Ben Johnson with a second writing session in August 2021, where he fleshed out the melody. Johnson ultimately co-produced the track with Shane McAnally.

"If He Wanted to He Would" was certified Gold by the RIAA in March 2024.
