"Big Bad Wolf" is a song by American rock band In This Moment. It is the second single from the band's fifth album Black Widow .
The song was initially leaked online on October 12, 2014, and released digitally as an instant preorder track on October 21, 2014. The song appeared as a B-side on the physical Sick Like Me single.
The music video was directed by Robert Kley and Maria Brink and premiered on their YouTube channel on November 28, 2014. [2] Brink says of the video, "It is one of my favorite videos we've ever done, and it is super. It's just raw and gritty and almost nasty, but it's very different and I'm very excited for people to see it. It's very creaturous; I think I have creature parts to myself, but my blood girls are wearing these, like, big werewolf masks that...You've just got to see it. If I try to describe it, it almost can sound campy, but when you see it it's not. It's almost like a twisted horror story, but in this cool, artistic way." [3] The song is about the struggles between the light and the dark that is represented by the "wolf" and the "piggy" within Brink. She says, "It’s the internal struggle of those two animals in me, but I realize both are very necessary for all of us. I need to embrace that fire, be wild and primal. That’s important too.” [4] The song was released as the album's second radio single in September 2015.
On June 29, 2022, the single was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), moving 500,000 copies in the United States. [5]
All lyrics are written by Maria Brink; all music is composed by In This Moment, Kevin Churko.
