This groovy Black Keys track finds vocalist Dan Auerbach attracted by a wild child "with a tender heart and a beautiful smile." He wants to hold her, please her, and give her his love, but realizes it's just a fantasy. So he lets her go and just settles for dreaming about the wild child. The Black Keys released "Wild Child" as the first single from Dropout Boogie on March 10, 2022. "Wild Child" was a song idea that The Black Keys had dabbled with over several years, but couldn't get a grip on how to approach it lyrically.
