"Wild for the Night" was released as the album's second promotional single on January 11,2013. The single listed both Skrillex and Birdy Nam Nam as featured guests,although the only guest listed on the album is Skrillex who produced the track along with Birdy Nam Nam and later remixed it with Rocky as Lord Flacko.

The music video was shot in the Dominican Republic with Skrillex and featured cameos from the ASAP Mob. The music video premiered on March 25,2013 on 106 &Park. The video was directed by A$AP and Chris Robinson,and is 5 minutes and 52 seconds duration,from start to finish. [7] [8] [9]

NME ranked the song at number 20,on their list of the 50 best songs of 2013. They commented saying,"the pitch-shifted vocals of A$AP Rocky and the intergalactic bass overload of Skrillex were at odds with one another,yet the rapper and producer combined to make 2013's biggest mongrel banger. ‘Wild For The Night’was brash and obnoxious,but by defying convention this odd couple gave both the hip-hop and EDM kids their anthem for the year."
