I Wish I Was Someone Better is the sixth single by British alternative rock band Blood Red Shoes. Scheduled for release on the band's forthcoming album Box Of Secrets, due in April 2008, it was released on V2 Records on October 29, 2007, available on 7" vinyl or as a digital download via iTunes.

The song's monochrome music video was directed by Ben Rollason. It is a prototypical example of the controlled, riff-based rock music that Blood Red Shoes are reputable for. In contrast, the B-Side for the single, "The Way It Goes", is a more sedate song that is based entirely on overlapping vocal tracks. The single is preceded by "You Bring Me Down".
