Wild Ones (Flo Rida song)

"Wild Ones" is a song by American rapper Flo Rida featuring Australian singer-songwriter Sia from his fourth studio album of the same name (2012).

Flo Rida performed the songs "Good Feeling" and "Wild Ones" live at the event to precede Rock's entrance for the match.

[1] With over 6.5 million copies sold globally, it is Flo Rida's fourth best selling and one of the top 250 best-selling singles.

According to Bill Lamb from About.com, "There is clearly a well worn formula to Flo Rida's blend of hip hop, dance, and pop.

It is the moments when "Wild Ones" breaks down into that simple combination of synth keyboards and Sia's voice that the song commands our attention.

"[5] David Jeffries from Allmusic compared the song to Katy Perry's "Firework", which was released one year previous, saying "The title cut [Wild Ones] with [Sia] is close to Katy Perry's "Fireworks" but crafted to support a sports highlight reel instead of teenage dreams [...]"[6] "Wild Ones" is written and composed in the key of A ♭ major, it is built of the chord progression A ♭-Cm-Fm-D ♭ and is set in time signature of common time with a tempo of 127 beats per minute.

Tim Byron from The Vine stated, "When [Sia] sings the chorus, phrases like 'I heard' and 'if I took you home' speak of uncertainty.

[11] The song was certified Gold in its first month and eventually received double platinum in May 2012, staying in the charts for twenty-two weeks.

[17] The song eventually peaked at number three on the chart and was certified quintuple platinum by the IFPI, selling over 200,000 copies and is the eighty-third best-selling single in that country.

[24] The video directed by Erik White was released on February 9, 2012, showing Flo Rida partying in Dubai and Miami.

[25] The video also features Cuban model Dayami Padron on the boat scenes to the left of Flo Rida.

Flo Rida performed the song on the finale of second season of The Voice with contestant Juliet Simms singing the chorus.

[27] A remix version entitled "Wild One Two" by Jack Back featuring David Guetta, Nicky Romero and Sia was released on February 14, 2012.
