Background

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]
