Background and composition
On its creation, Jagger said in 1994, "'I Go Wild', I suppose, is the one I play on most. I mean, I just created it on guitar with Charlie , as a groove. And we more or less had the whole song down before we took it to anyone else." On the song overall, Jagger said, "I like that song. I really got into the lyrics on that one. One of the wordy ones."A straightforward rock song, "I Go Wild"'s lyrics tell of the singer's relationship with an unnamed "femme fatale";
"I Go Wild" was recorded between July and August 1993 and between November and December 1993 at Sandymount Studios, Ireland and A&M Recording Studios, Los Angeles. With Jagger on lead vocals and electric guitar, Richards and Ron Wood accompany him on electric guitars. Charlie Watts performs drums while Darryl Jones performs bass.
