"Something Wild" was written for the Disney film, Pete's Dragon, a 2016 remake of the 1977 movie. The film was released on August 12 with the song played over the end credits.[2]

In a video on Facebook live, Stirling confirmed Disney approached her to compose a song for the remake, and she wrote "Something Wild" the same day.[3]

Stirling performed the song on her Brave Enough Tour that started later in 2016. She also appeared on episode 15 of the Billboard Chart Center to perform the song live.[4]

Album appearances

The video had 3 million views on YouTube in under a month.[7]
