"Young, Wild & Free" is a pop-rap song, composed in the key of D major with a tempo of 95 beats per minute. [6] [7] [8] It differs from the G-funk style of other songs on the soundtrack, incorporating pop elements into the chorus. [9] [10] The song consists of hip-hop drums overlaid with a revolving, chilled "twinkling" piano hook and Mars's "sprightly" and "carefree choral hook". [6] [11] Its "carefree vibes" make the single "the perfect soundtrack for a Friday night with friends". [12] Coughing is heard, implying a party vibe. [13] The song is a weed anthem, reminiscing "hazy times" and youth: "It's like I'm 17 again/ Peach fuzz on my face/Lookin', on the case /Trying to get a hella taste", while the former in the following verses "Roll joints bigger than King Kong's fingers/ And smoke them hoes down until they're stingers." [6] [7] [11] Mars's pop-soul chorus is also nostalgic: [6] [14] [15] "So what, we get drunk/So what, we smoke weed/We’re just having fun/We don't care who sees/So what, we go out/That's how it's supposed to be/Living young and wild and free." [13]

"Young, Wild & Free" was initially written by the artists alongside Lawrence, Ari Levine, and Brody Brown. Since it sampled "Toot It & Boot It" (2010) by American rapper YG and American singer Ty Dolla Sign, they received writing credits with Nye Lee, Marlon Borrow and Marquise Newman (who did additional writing). [16] "Toot It & Boot It" had sampled "Songs in the Wind" by The Association (written by Ted Bluechel) from their 1966 album Renaissance , so Bluechel was added as a songwriter. [17] [18] "Young, Wild & Free"'s drum loop sampled "Sneakin' in the Back", from the 1974 album Tom Scott and The L.A. Express , and the song was re-registered with additional writing credits for Max Bennett, Larry Carlton, John Guerin, Joe Sample, and Tom Scott. [19] [20] [21] The single was produced by Mars, Lawrence and Levine under their stage name, the Smeezingtons, and was engineered by Levine, Andy Drucker and Travis "Shaggy" Marshall at Levcon Studios and Paramount Recording Studios in Los Angeles and DSR in Hollywood. Levine mixed the track at Levcon Studios. It was mastered by Chris Gehringer at Sterling Sound, NYC. [16]

Critical reception and accolades

The song received mixed reviews from most music critics. For Entertainment Weekly , Kyle Anderson praised its "sweet" Mars' hook; with "'song of summer' written all over it", it "could have been a graduation anthem for stoners everywhere" if it was released in May. [14] MTV's Jenna Rubenstein gave the song a generally-positive review as more than a "reckless party jam"; the three singers are not bothered by the judgments of others, and "that's the positive, family-friendly message we're taking". [13] Billboard magazine gave it three-and-a-half out of five stars, calling it "a haze of nostalgia". The review praised Snoop Dogg's effortless flow, but called Whiz Khalifa's delivery "forceful" and "punchy"; it "gets on top of the beat and harshes the mellow laid-back production." [6] In a similar review, Lewis Corner of Digital Spy praised Dogg's verses and called the single "cool and addictive"; however, he found the song's "flavor" short-lived. [11] In a negative review, Shea Serrano of LA Weekly compared the track's atmosphere to the "inside of a cloud (smoke), a celebration or idea of what some teenagers who smoke pot would like". Serrano noted, ironically, that the song's performers were neither young, wild nor free. [22]

On AllMusic, David Jeffries wrote that "Young, Wild & Free" had a more contemporary, friendly sound that the rest of the album; the single is "polished, bright and sunshine material". [9] In another album review, Michael Madden of Consequence of Sound considered it one of the few songs good enough for a soundtrack due to the "smooth pop vocals of Bruno Mars and glitzy Hollywood production". [23] The A.V. Club 's Chris Martins praised the single's "sharp keys and lite Jackson 5 bounce" in comparison with the other, G-Funk songs on the soundtrack. [10] The song was nominated for Best Rap Song at the 2013 Grammy Awards and was one of the winners of Most Performed Songs at the 2013 ASCAP Pop Music Awards. [24] [25] According to a Billboard list measuring a song's "inebriated energy on a scale of one (mildly buzzed) to 10 (totally stoned)", "Young, Wild & Free" received a seven; according to the Billboard staff, it could be appreciated by "serious stoners" and anyone else because of its playfulness. [7] In a similar list compiled by David Opie, writing for Highsnobiety , he ranked the song among "The 10 Most Essential Rap Songs About Weed". [26]

Music video

The music video for "Young, Wild & Free" was filmed on October 19, 2011, at the Mission Tiki Drive-in Theater in Montclair, California. [50] It was directed by Dylan Brown (who also directed Mac & Devin Go to High School), [2] and was produced by Lucy Brown for the Yard Company. [5] Snoop Dogg told MTV that the video is about "the celebration of being young, wild, and free – having a good time". [2] In the behind-the-scenes video, Wiz Khalifa and Dogg were having fun "driving go-karts, spinning through a zorb, and sliding down a Slip-n-Slide" while being "stoned out of their minds". Mars was not seen in this footage, implying that he would not appear in the video. [51] It premiered on October 26, 2011, on several MTV channels. [52]

In the video, Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa play two students at "N. Hale High School" (a play on the word "inhale"). [53] A "chilled out" Khalifa and an "easy going" Dogg have a good time at a party, skateboard in a parking lot and drive around it in a "souped-up off-road kart" with several girls. They linger "on the hood of a car" with tattooed "hot babes" who play on a Slip-N-Slide. [53] [54] [2] Dogg is seen driving his 1967 Pontiac Parisienne. [50] The scenes are interspersed with "psychedelic" footage from Mac & Devin Go to High School with a "nerded-out" Khalifa. [53] [54] Mars did not appear in the video. [53]

Live performances and reception

"Young, Wild & Free" was performed live several times. Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa began their High School Tour (a small, joint tour) in late 2011 to promote the soundtrack, and "Young, Wild & Free" was the closing song. [55] [56] In early 2012, Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa appeared on Power 106's Big Boy's Neighborhood and performed the single. [57] Khalifa performed the song live on the 2012 VMA Tour, and Dogg performed it during his set at Coachella 2012; Khalifa joined him onstage with a giant joint. [58] [59] Khalifa co-headlined with Fall Out Boy on the Boys of Zummer (North American) leg of the American Beauty/American Psycho Tour (2015), where he performed the single. [60] [61] Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa united for the High Road Summer Tour (2016), where they performed "Young, Wild & Free" together. [62] Dogg rapped the song as the final act of his Puff Puff Pass Tour Part 2 (2016). [63] [64]

Rob Markman of MTV attended a show of the High School Tour, and said that Snoop and Khalifa's "onstage chemistry was undeniable." [56] Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone found Khalifa truthful "to his blunted rep"; during the song's performance on the Boys of Zummer tour, he tossed two large, inflatable joints around. [60] The Palm Beach Post 's Corvaya Jeffries said about the High Road Summer tour, "No one was seated. If they weren't dancing, they were still standing with phones in hand ... Fans sang the feel good chorus at the top of their lungs." [62] Cal Roach of the Milwaukee Record reviewed a Puff Puff Pass Tour Part 2 show, and using "Young, Wild & Free" to close Dogg's set "felt preposterously appropriate". [64]
