A \u201cwild\u201d song I decided to comment about is called \u201cYoung, Wild and Free\u201d by Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg, and features Bruno Mars. This song is considered to be Pop-rap and was released in 2011. The song was successful and was in the top ten in several categories, including being number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. To add, it was nominated in the Grammy awards in 2013 and received most performed song award in Pop Music Awards. The single also became popular in France, Switzerland, Australia, and many more. The song talks about drinking, smoking, and partying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One lyric that stands out goes as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe’re just having fun so what we go out<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n that\u2019s how it\u2019s supposed to be<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n living young, wild, and free.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Typically, \u201cwild\u201d is described as something relating to the wilderness, however, they use \u201cwild\u201d as a means of freedom. Drinking, smoking, and partying is viewed as irresponsible and is illegal at the age of 17. However, I believe they use \u201cwild\u201d as going against society and its rules and to be \u201cfree\u201d. Being free means to enjoy yourself and not worrying about the repercussions of your actions. The song describes these actions as \u201cwild\u201d because society views it as such, but they see it as having fun. The song is about being young and \u201chaving fun\u201d by partying. It is living out your \u201cteenage years\u201d by having fun because that\u2019s the way it \u201cshould\u201d be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On a different note, I remember hearing this song when it got popular and loving it. I didn\u2019t know what the song was about, but it made me feel good and alive. Hearing it now gives me a \u201cnostalgic feeling\u201d of being younger and being free, even though I wasn\u2019t partying or doing anything. Now listening to it at my age, I can understand the meaning behind it. I can relate to feeling \u201cwild\u201d and crazy after having fun and being stress-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The video: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Wa5B22KAkEk<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Jaileen Gutierrez<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A \u201cwild\u201d song I decided to comment about is called \u201cYoung, Wild and Free\u201d by Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg, and features Bruno Mars.
