With One More Time, his upcoming EP with Aerosmith due out on 21 November, Yungblud has already started to quietly road-test one of its most intriguing cuts: “Wild Woman.” The track sits alongside “Problems,” “A Thousand Days” and a new 2025 mix of Aerosmith’s classic “Back in the Saddle,” rounding out what’s shaping up to be a surprisingly diverse collaboration project.
On 30 October, at an intimate show at Magazzini Generali in Milan, Dom gave fans the world-premiere live performance of “Wild Woman.” Before launching into the song, he told the crowd he’d written it on a trip to Greece and that it’s one of his personal favourites from the EP – the kind of off-the-cuff confession that instantly makes a new tune feel special.
Musically, “Wild Woman” leans into a country-cowboy flavour that feels fresh in Yungblud’s catalogue. The groove has that dusty-road sway, pushed along by a warm, live band feel and a violin line that cuts right through the mix. Structurally it feels like a cousin to “My Only Angel”: a verse that starts relatively intimate, then gradually opens up into a big, cathartic chorus built to be shouted back at him from the crowd.
Lyrically, the song circles around a volatile, magnetic relationship. The “wild woman” of the hook is both anchor and accelerant – every time he’s ready to let go, she pulls him back in, only for both of them to hurt each other again. Even from the rough live audio, you can catch lines about truths being taken back and hurt that cuts both ways, all wrapped in that restless, heat-haze imagery he keeps returning to. It feels less like a simple breakup song and more like someone trying to make sense of why they’re addicted to the chaos in the first place.
Wild wild wild wild woman,
When I’m ready to let it go, You pull me back and let me go,
Wild wild wild wild woman,
your taking back every truth you told, I hurt you and you hurt me more,
What really sells it live is the push-and-pull of tension and release. The verses ride on a nervy, almost cinematic build, while the chorus explodes into something loose, loud and instantly memorable. The country colouring, the fiddle, and the almost Western-movie atmosphere give “Wild Woman” its own lane within the One More Time universe, even as its emotional arc mirrors “My Only Angel.”
If this Milan performance is anything to go by, “Wild Woman” could end up being one of the EP’s standout deep cuts – the track that sneaks up on people and becomes a fan favourite once the studio version drops. With Aerosmith’s full band swagger layered in on the record version, that cowboy-heartbreak energy is only likely to get bigger and nastier in the best possible way.
For now, all we have are fan-shot clips and a first taste of the song’s live energy – but it already sounds like the moment in the set where the room tips from sing-along into full-body catharsis.
