"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, and reached number 67 on the German Download Chart.
Recorded by No Angels for their sixth regular studio album 20 (2021), "Mad Wild," co-written by American-Canadian singer Sophie Simmons and Islandic singer Ásdís María Viðarsdóttir, 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.[1] A song about a toxic relationship that always ends in bed instead of being ended for the better, 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.[2] Benaissa described "Mad Wild" as a "modern, powerful [...] feel good track."[1]
A lyric video for "Mad Wild" premiered online on 6 August 2021.[3] Designed like an Instagram feed, it features behind the scenes footage as well as stills from the shootings for their music videos for "Daylight in Your Eyes (Celebration Version)" (2021) and Still in Love with You (Celebration Version)" (2021).[3] In support of its single release, a radiomix of "Mad Wild," produced by Late9, was issued. The remix was released digitally by BMG Rights Management on 6 August 2021.
