Composition

"Savages" was written by David Schmitt, Kyle Even, Eric Armenta, Tommy Cooperman and Luis Bonet whilst production was handled by Ian Kirkpatrick who also co-wrote the song. The track still has the same sound as the group's last album incorporating mixes of a house-influenced drop, focusing heavily on the bass and a pulsing electronic beat with lyrics about youth and living life to its fullest.[4] The group premiered a lyrics video to the song on November 26, 2013.[5] The track runs at 126 BPM and is in the key of D major.[6] In 2016, the group released a mashup remix to "Savages" for free along with another single "Giants" on Beatport.[7]

Reception

"Savages" was received with mostly positive reviews. Andrew Wendowski of Music Mayhem Magazine gave a positive review calling the song "catchy and fun." He stated, "'Savages', I feel is very balanced vocally and instrumentally; there isn’t too much of one thing. I do like the song lyrically as well."[1] Kriston McConnell of Under the Gun Review gave a mixed review complimenting the song for its "catchy, repetitive chorus," however was critical of the songs creativity. She ended off stating, "it's definitely fun and I certainly look forward to hearing what else they have in store for us, but I do not feel this is the best song they have put out in recent years."[8]
