"Wherever Would I Be" is the title of a song recorded by American rock band Cheap Trick which appeared on the album Busted. Released as the second single from the album, the song was written by American songwriter Diane Warren who had previously co-written the band's 1988 hit single "Ghost Town" with Rick Nielsen. The single, released in 1990, peaked at #50 in the US.

The single was released on 7" vinyl and CD single. A Spanish 7" vinyl featured the track on both sides whilst an American promotional CD single featured the track without the b-side. A Japanese promotional 3inch CD single was also released, featuring both the a-side and the b-side.

The b-side "Busted" was featured as on the same album as the title track, written by Rick Nielsen and Robin Zander.

Both tracks were produced by Richie Zito who had previously produced the band's 1988 album "Lap of Luxury".

The single was an attempt to capitalize on the success of the similar style found on the band's previous album Lap of Luxury. Epic Records were disappointed in the lack of success with the previous single "Can't Stop Fallin' Into Love" although it peaked at #12 in the US. "Wherever Would I Be" peaked at #50, becoming Cheap Trick's last single to peak into the top #100 on the Billboard Hot 100.

A music video was created for the single, receiving play on MTV.

Fan reception for the single has remained poor since release.

In a review of the single, including the b-side, Allmusic.com gave one out of five stars, writing "Cheap Trick sleepwalks through the motions on this Diane Warren treacle, which Daryl Hall and Dusty Springfield later covered in While You Were Sleeping (Henry Lee Summer also took a stab [yikes]). Loopy axe murderer Rick Nielsen steps up for a decent guitar solo, but no rock band should put fans through something like this. On the back is "Busted," the title track to Trick's nadir. The Rockford quartet shows an inclination to burn with the zest of old, but Richie Zito weights the band down with gratuitous studio tomfoolery. "Busted" shouts out to Enuff Z'Nuff (seemingly for help). Cheap Trick is so much above the material on both sides here."

Allmusic.com picks the b-side track "Busted" as an AMG recommended track.
