Interesting facts and trivia about Wildest Moments. By Songfacts®.

Jessie Ware told The Sun regarding this song: "It's about a fight I had with my best friend Sarah. She and I argue a lot but we are also the best of friends. This was a song that demonstrates that we can go from being amazing together to being so terrible. I love her dearly but it was easier to write a song about it than enter a fight."

The argument took place at the wedding of Ware's manager. "It was drunken and it ended up with a mudcake I'd made being thrown in my face and a trifle being thrown at her," the singer recalled to The Observer. "I thought it was quite funny – we were being idiots – but it escalated into her being really angry at me."

This is one of three songs on Devotion that Ware wrote with the nu-folk singer-songwriter Kid Harpoon. "He was the one who was like, 'Forget the minimal electronic stuff, let's make some fu--ing big pop tunes!,'" said Ware to The Guardian. "He wanted to bring out the Alicia Keys in me."

The single-take video consists simply of Ware sitting while singing the song, with the camera slowly rotating around her.
