"Stay Wild" is a song by Australian band Little Birdy, released as the fourth single from their third studio album Confetti . It was released digitally in October 2009. [1]

Release

Initially "Confetti" was planned for release as a single, but this was changed to "Stay Wild". A music video was produced to promote the single. [2] It features Katy Steele out there in the country surrounded by the green, surveying her surrounds, perusing Boinga Bob’s iconic Warburton, Victoria home. Joined by the rest of the band (each carrying a different coloured flag), she sets out into the great wild outdoors to breathe in the crisp fresh air.

This is a full-on driving song. It's a song about being free, embracing life, moving. We got the gospel choir in for it and the bass and drums sound very '70s, which is totally cool. It's a glorious kind of song.
