Background and composition
"Jungle" is the sixth track on the band's 1997 studio album Carnival of Souls: The Final Sessions.[1] and was written by Paul Stanley together with Bruce Kulick and Curtis Cuomo.[1]
With a running time of 6:49, "Jungle" is the longest song that Kiss has ever recorded on a studio album.
Brett Weiss' Encyclopedia of KISS says that the song has a "semi-funky grunge-lite riff" that "recalls Collective Soul's U.S. hit "Shine".[1]

The song was a minor United States hit for the band, reaching number 8 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart despite a lack of promotion.
