"If We Had Your Eyes" is a song recorded by American recording artist Michelle Williams. On June 24, 2013, "If We Had Your Eyes" was digitally released worldwide as the lead single from Williams' fourth studio album, Journey To Freedom. Fantasia Barrino features on the official remix which was released November 4, 2013.

On June 7, 2012 it was announced that Williams had signed a record deal with Light Records and E1 Music. In February, 2013, after reuniting with Destiny's Child for Beyoncé's performance at the Super Bowl XLVII halftime show, Williams revealed to Billboard.com that her fourth solo album and first since the 2008 release Unexpected was "about 80 percent done," and produced primarily by Harmony Samuels as well as Warryn Campbell and Adam Blackstone. Williams described the album as "an inspirational/gospel project," which "sounds like an R&B/pop album". Williams further elaborated on working with Samuels, saying, "Harmony gave me the same tracks he would give to, like, Chris Brown and Kelly Rowland. Sometimes when you say you're doing a gospel album, it seems like people go back to their vaults of music they did in 1992, and I'm like, 'No, give me fresh-sounding music.' So this (album) sounds very current and contemporary."

On June 14, Williams announced "If We Had Your Eyes" as the lead single from her fourth studio album and released a 30-second preview and the release date. On June 29, it was revealed in an interview for Michigan Avenue magazine that the album is titled Journey to Freedom.

The song was inspired by a homeless person who "asked [songwriter Al Sherrod Lambert] for some money" and "eventually started speaking into him" after Lambret "gave him all that he had".
