"I Might" was the first single from The Whole Love, Wilco's eighth studio album and the first they put out on their own dBpm label in 2011. Fans got it early: people at the band's Solid Sound Festival that June, at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, could buy the single on the spot.

Jeff Tweedy wrote it and plays acoustic guitar, and the credits fill up fast. Nels Cline adds slide guitar, Mikael Jorgensen synthesizer and keyboards, Glenn Kotche drums and percussion, John Stirratt bass and piano, and Pat Sansone piano and glockenspiel, with Sansone and Stirratt singing alongside Tweedy. Tweedy, Sansone and Tom Schick produced, engineered and mixed it themselves, a house-made record from a band now running its own shop.
