Background

"Wild" was penned by the songwriter Claude Kelly. The song features two rappers, Big Sean and Dizzee Rascal. This was produced by American musician Ammo, who is signed to Dr. Luke's publishing company Prescription Songs as a producer and songwriter. Jessie J told Capital London that she wanted someone "really British" and "really American" in terms of guests. "We wrote the song and I actually had a middle eight," she explained, "and I said to Claude Kelly, who's the executive producer on this album, 'I feel like this should have a rapper on it' and I was like 'how about two?'".[4] The song is in the key of B minor.

Music video

The music video was directed by Emil Nava.[5] The video leaked on 25 May 2013. The music video opens with the singer, with her newly shaved blonde hair from Comic Relief, walking onto the video's set. She then begins to dance, which is intercut with scenes of her wearing what looks to be a leopard print bodysuit. Jessie J revealed in an interview that the leopard print is actually sprayed onto her skin.[6] Big Sean and Dizzee Rascal also appear to rap their verses, and then continue to dance with Jessie throughout the ending of the video.[7][8]
