“Wish You Were Here,” Pink Floyd’s 9th studio album, was a commercial and critical success that topped charts in the United States and Britain upon release and was later certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. It was also included in Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time” in 2020.
 
“It's a great honor to be part of this meaningful project,” Fifty Fifty’s members said in a statement released by their agency Attrakt Entertainment. “This cover allowed us to [...] experience the sincerity and impact of music. As Pink Floyd did, we will continue to work hard to become artists who can move the hearts of many people across generations.”
