It was written by Morgan Wallen, Brett Tyler, and Kelly Archer, and produced by Emerson Drive member Danick Dupelle.

Background

Miller stated that the song "isn’t your typical love song, it’s the hopeful chase of a guy trying to get, and keep, this girl around who’s an untameable rolling stone". [2] Online outlet Music-News.com hosted an exclusive premiere of the song on February 11, 2022. [3] Morgan Wallen wrote the song with Kelly Archer and Brett Tyler at a songwriting session in 2017. [4] [5] According to a column in Billboard , the song is about "a reversal of the standard gender stereotype in which the free-wheeling male finds a woman stabilizes him." [5] The writers stated that the inspiration was an episode of Sex and the City . When Wallen chose not to record the song, it was recorded by independent country music artist Colby Keeling prior to Tyler Joe Miller's recording in 2022. [5] Archer pitched the track to Miller several years prior to his final recording. [6] Danick Dupelle, a member of the Canadian country band Emerson Drive, produced Miller's version. [7]

Critical reception

Maxwell Barkhuizen of Music Crowns stated that "Wild as Her" "shows exactly why so many have been talking about [Miller]", referring to the track as "lively", saying he "[plays] with the traditional side of the country sound, but [adds] his own distinctive flair throughout". [2] Chad Carlson of Today's Country Magazine said that the song "subtly introduces the internal conflict of finding the balance between finding a way to keep someone in your life while also struggling to realize whether or not that person is right for you," adding that Miller would garner "more fans, more streams, and more critical acclaim" with its release. [8]

Commercial performance

"Wild as Her" reached a peak of number eight on the Billboard Canada Country chart for the week of June 11, 2022, marking Miller's fifth-consecutive top ten hit to begin his career. [9] It also peaked at number 94 on the all-genre Canadian Hot 100 for the same week. [10] The song has been certified Gold by Music Canada. [11]

Subsequent to Tyler Joe Miller's version, American country music singer Corey Kent covered the song. His version was promoted by RCA Records Nashville to country radio in August 2022. [18] It served as Kent's debut single and the lead from his third studio album Blacktop, which was released on June 2, 2023. His version reached number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and peaked in the top 20 of the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. [19] [20]

Corey Kent recorded his version in mid-2022 under the production of Chris Farren. The recording session included Fred Eltringham on drums, Jacob Lowery on bass guitar, Gordon Mote on keyboards, and Rob McNelley and Ilya Toshinskiy on guitars. In addition to producing, Farren sang backing vocals on the track as well. Farren told Billboard that he wanted the guitars to "have some attitude", and Kent noted how the melisma on the word "wild" tested his vocal range. [5]

In September 2022, Kent issued a music video for his rendition. [21]
