Wings is the sixth studio album released by American country music artist Mark Chesnutt, and his second for Decca Records. Released in late 1995, it features the singles "Trouble", "It Wouldn't Hurt to Have Wings", and "Wrong Place, Wrong Time". Respectively, these reached #18, #7, and #37 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. Unlike Chesnutt's first five albums, which were produced by Mark Wright, Wings was produced by Tony Brown. This was the first album of Chesnutt's career not to achieve RIAA certification.

"The King of Broken Hearts" was previously recorded by George Strait on the soundtrack of the 1992 film Pure Country, and was later covered by Lee Ann Womack on her 2008 album Call Me Crazy. "Trouble" was originally recorded by Todd Snider on his 1994 debut album Songs for the Daily Planet.
