Artist Bruno Mars is also featured in the song. Originally released on October 11, 2011, this song broke records&nbsp;around the world due to its catchy chorus and ability to relate to many teenagers at the time. This song is written from the perspective of teenagers wanting to enjoy their lives free from rules and free to be whoever they want to be. The music&nbsp;video, which is linked below, is set in a high school where rules are&nbsp;broken and trips to the principle&#8217;s office were quite frequent. Because of society&#8217;s refusal to except all types of people at the time of the song\u2019s release, being anything but \u201cnormal\u201d and stereotypical was considered out of control and wild. Because this song hints at teenager\u2019s wanting to be rebellious and live life in a less construct way, it became a universal&nbsp;anthem that paved a way of thinking that sometimes rules are meant to be broken.&nbsp;I believe wild can have many definitions ranging from animalistic wildness or society wildness. For this song in particular, I think having teenagers realize that there is not one specific mold to how a&nbsp;person should live their lives opened up doors for people to truly explore and become who they want. This all happened so quickly that society couldn&#8217;t keep up with the change, therefore categorizing their&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>break from the &#8220;norm&#8221; as wild and&nbsp;unpredictable.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the link to the song&#8217;s music video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Wa5B22KAkEk\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Wa5B22KAkEk\u00a0(Links to an external site.)<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Wa5B22KAkEk\"><\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>~Audrey Wines<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One song I particularly believe to be categorized as wild is a popular hip-hop\/rap song called \u201cYoung, Wild, &amp; Free\u201d by Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa.
