"I Will... But" is a song recorded by American country music group SHeDAISY for their debut studio album The Whole SHeBANG (1999).The song was written by member Kristyn Osborn and Jason Deere and produced by Dann Huff. Lyric Street Records released the song on April 14, 2000 as the third single from the album. Lyrically, "I Will... But" is about a list of things that the female narrator does not want to be or experience, such as being a dirty secret or the "portrait of perfection", but that if the man follows these rules, she will be his everything.

The song became the most successful single of SHeDAISY's career, peaking at number two on the US Hot Country Songs for two consecutive weeks, being blocked from the top spot by "That's the Way" from Jo Dee Messina. It was also a hit in the north, peaking at number three on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart.
