"He Would Be Sixteen" is a song written by Jill Colucci, Charlie Black and Austin Roberts, and recorded by Canadian country music artist Michelle Wright. It was released in October 1992 as the third single from her third studio album, Now and Then. It peaked at number 3 on the RPM Country Tracks chart in January 1993.
Wright said in A Year in the Life that she did not identify with the song when she recorded it, because she had never been pregnant or put a child up for adoption, but she chose to record it anyway because it received positive feedback in concerts.[1]
The song was nominated for a Juno Award for Single of the Year at the 1994 Juno Awards.[2]
