"Mad Wild" is a song by all-female German pop band No Angels. It was written by Flo August, Andrew Tyler, Ásdís María Viðarsdóttir, and Sophie Alexandra Tweed-Simmons and recorded by the group for their sixth regular studio album 20 (2021), while production was helmed by Christian Geller. Supported by a remix version, the song was released as the album's third single on 6 August 2021,[1] and reached number 67 on the German Download Chart.[2]
Background[edit]
"Mad Wild," co-written by American-Canadian singer Sophie Simmons, is the only title that was chosen from a selection of around a dozen songs which their record company BMG had proposed for recording, being the favorite individual choice of every No Angels member.[3] A song about a toxic relationship that always ends in bed instead of being ended for the better,[4] it is built upon a bouncing synth bass and a 1980s-style snare sample, blending elements of funk and pop with contemporary R&B sounds.[4] Benaissa described "Mad Wild" as a "modern, powerful [...] feel good track."[3]
