"This I Swear" is a song by British singer Kim Wilde, released in January 1996 as the second single from her ninth album, Now & Forever (1995). The song was issued 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". James Hamilton from the RM Dance Update deemed it a "sincerely cooed mushy beat-ballad".
