"I Will... But" is a song written by Kristyn Osborn and Jason Deere, and recorded by American country music group SHeDAISY. It was released in March 2000 as the third single from their debut album The Whole SHeBANG.
Content
The title of the album this song was taken from comes from its refrain "I will be the whole shebang". The drums were played by session musician Vinnie Colaiuta, who also played on "Little Good-Byes". His style on this particular track was meant to give the feel of a live performance, going so far as to include the double kick more common in heavy metal toward the end of the song, something which is almost unheard of in country music studio recordings.[citation needed]
Music video
Directed by Shaun Silva, the video for this song is very simple, focusing on the trio at various concerts, as well as black-and-white shots of them doing goofy things. They are also seen performing the song in a parking garage, and while sitting on top of a bar.
Chart performance
It is the highest-peaking single of SHeDAISY's career, reaching number 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, as well as being the group's only Top 10 hit in Canada.
