A new version of the song was re-released on 23 June 2016, featuring a new verse from Canadian singer and songwriter Alessia Cara.[15] On 28 June 2016, it impacted top 40 radio stations in the United States as the fourth single from his debut studio album Blue Neighbourhood.[16]


Background


The concept came about after Sivan met Cara at several music events. He had covered Cara's hit single "Here" for a live radio show and she responded with a cover of his track "Youth".[17] In phone text conversations, the two performers joked about which song was next. Cara told Sivan her favourite song of his was "Wild" and shortly afterwards wrote and recorded a verse in a European studio. When she sent it to Sivan, he says his response was: "This is so good, we have to put it out."[17]


Music videos


On 22 July 2016, a new video for the single was released on Sivan's Vevo and YouTube channel. The video features both singers and was directed by Malia James and produced by Taylor Vandegrift and Danny Lockwood. It was filmed in Toronto, Canada, near Cara's home.[citation needed]


Chart performance


The re-released new version reached number 26 in its own right on the Australian ARIA Charts.[18]
