Wild Things (song)

"Wild Things" is the second single off of Canadian singer Alessia Cara's first studio album Know-It-All. The song was released on February 2, 2016. The title is a reference to the 1963 Maurice Sendak children's book Where the Wild Things Are.

The song was able to make it to #13 on the Hot Dance Songs, #14 on the Mainstream Top 40, #20 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay, #34 on the Adult Top 40, #34 on the Rhythmic, and #50 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. It was also certified 2× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Before performing an acoustic version of the song on On Air with Ryan Seacrest, Cara described the meaning of the song. She said it's about self-acceptance and not having to fit in with the popular people.

A music video for the song was released. In the video, Cara wanders around the streets of Toronto while singing and hanging out with her real-life friends.
