Quick Facts Single by Birds of Tokyo, from the album Birds of Tokyo ...

Band member Adam Spark recalled: "We were going through this real Beach Boys sort of how-clever-can-we-get-writing-phase through this record, and "Wild At Heart" was one of those ones “how much can you get a big ridiculous key change in there without anybody kind of noticing it?” The idea with things like that is to be able to sort of move a song around in such a crazy sort of way that gives you an interest but without anybody being able to tell, or not being able to sing it. You can sort of follow the lyric and melody quite easily having no musical knowledge, so we're a little bit proud of that."[2]
