"This I Swear" is the second single from the album Now & Forever released by Kim Wilde in 1996. It was issued in 1996 in a slightly different form to that which is found on the album. 12" and CD single formats also include a 'Wilde Remix'. Another track from the same album, "Heaven" was used as the B-side and underwent several remixes. The UK 12" single also contained a remix of the previous single, "Breakin' Away".

Critical reception[]

British magazine Music Week gave the song three out of five, describing it as "a light, fluid ballad".[1] James Hamilton from the magazine's RM Dance Update deemed it a "sincerely cooed mushy beat-ballad".[2]
