"Wherever You Will Go" is a song by American rock band The Calling. It was released on the first single of their debut album "Camino Palmero". It still remains their most renowned and their most successful hit, peaking at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping the Adult Top 40 for 23 weeks, setting a record for that chart behind Santana's hit song "Smooth".

The song was heavily used in preview promos for "" in 2001, leading many to believe that it would be used for the show's theme song, and "The American Embassy".

The song also appears in the film and on the soundtrack album "Love Actually". It is playing in the background of the scene in which Colin Frissell (played by Kris Marshall) walks into the bar in Milwaukee and meets the two roommates.

The song is also performed by the band in the background of the club scene in "Coyote Ugly".

There were two videos shot for this song. The first was set in Mexico. The other, more well known, version relocates the band in a Los Angeles sewer, where they perform while a teenage soap opera plays in the foreground. A teenage girl gets her boyfriend's name tattooed on her shoulder, but when she finds him cheating with another girl, she flies into a rage. At the end of the video, she is seen with a new boyfriend and a new tattoo, as her jealous ex looks on from his car.
