Background and composition
On its creation, Jagger said in 1994, "'I Go Wild', I suppose, is the one I play (guitar) on most. I mean, I just created it on guitar with Charlie [Watts], as a groove. And we more or less had the whole song down before we took it to anyone else."[1] On the song overall, Jagger said, " I like that song. I really got into the lyrics on that one. One of the wordy ones."
A straightforward rock song, "I Go Wild"'s lyrics tell of the singer's relationship with an unnamed "femme fatale";
And the doctor says you'll be okay, And if you'd only stay away; From femme fatales and dirty bitches, And daylight drabs and nighttime witches, And working girls and blue stockings, And dance hall babes and body poppers,
And waitresses with broken noses, Checkout girls striking poses,
And politicians' garish wives, With alcoholic cunts like knives
I go wild when you're in my face; I go wild when I taste your taste;
I go wild and I go insane; I get sick - somebody stop this pain
"I Go Wild" was recorded between July and August 1993 and between November and December 1993 at Sandymount Studios, Ireland and
