Alon Mylo On the Making Of “wildin' !”
What inspired you to write the lyrics/music for "wildin' !?"
“Wildin’ !” came from this place where chaos and addiction blur together, that kind of high you know could break you but you still want more. I kept seeing it like the moon how it pulls the tide, how it pulls people into things they can’t resist. For me, the song is that pull. It’s giving in to it without asking what happens next.
How did you approach the arrangement and composition of the music for this song?
I started with the bass—it had to hit first. Then I built the beat around it, keeping it sharp and driving. But at some point, I knew it needed to break, to breathe, so I opened it up with a dreamy synth chorus. It couldn’t go any other way—it’s like a flash of hope, a moonlight breaking through the chaos.
What impact do you hope "wildin' !" will have on your audience?
I want people to feel unstoppable. To live in the moment, break rules, not think about the consequences. And then when the rush fades, maybe they’ll start asking themselves where they fit into this story.
Can you tell us a bit about yourself and how you got started in music?
I have always seen colors and weird things when it comes to music, there was always this tingling goosebumps and special feelings when some music played. I grew up surrounded by the sounds of hip hop in my headphones, rock blasting in my parents’ car, electronic tracks at every party. I started making beats as a teenager just to see if I could, and the more I played with it, the more I realized music was the only thing that felt completely mine.
Can you walk us through your creative process when writing and composing music?
There’s no formula. Sometimes it starts with a sound, sometimes with a picture I can’t get out of my head, sometimes just a melody I hum into my phone. I follow whatever feels alive in that moment. Once the feeling’s there, everything else beats, lyrics, atmosphere builds around it until the world of the song makes sense.
