Interesting facts and trivia about Wild Hearts. By Songfacts®.

This fist-pumping rallying cry is an ode to all the "wild hearts" that have been told they'll never amount to anything. Urban urges the underdogs to carry on doing things in their own way. "I'm here to tell you anything can happen in this life," he croons, "if you got that heart and the passion and a God-lit fire inside."

Urban said the song is "fairly autobiographical," adding, "It's mostly about following your heart, following your dreams and going for it no matter what anybody says. It's about believing in yourself and shooting for the stars."

Urban starts this empowering call-to-arms song by recounting his father taking him to see Johnny Cash at a Brisbane show when he was 5 years old. Saw the man in black, spotlight in the air Heard a thousand screams, I saw my daddy stare Seeing his father mesmerized by Johnny Cash's performance ignited a dream for the young Keith Urban. He wanted to be a rock star "lifting their guitars and painting the sky."
