Wild at Heart (Birds of Tokyo song)

"Wild at Heart" is the third single from Australian alternative rock band Birds of Tokyo's self-titled third album, Birds of Tokyo. The song peaked at #50 on the Australian Singles Chart in February 2011 and was certified gold. It was voted #47 in Triple J's Hottest 100 countdown of 2010.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 2011, the song was nominated for ARIA Award for Single of the Year, but lost to "Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye and Kimbra.

Band member Adam Spark said: "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."
