"Wild Eyed Boy" was the third single from Universes, the second Birds of Tokyo album, which the band put out independently on 5 July 2008 through MGM Distribution. Where the debut single, "Silhouettic", had gone out as a free download from the band's website, this one drew serious airplay and a run on Channel V.
The album was made all over Western Australia, from Loop Studios out in West Perth and Perth's Wing Command to a seaside timber house at Injidup, before Tim Palmer mixed the record at Ameraycan Studios in North Hollywood. Ian Kenny wrote the lyrics, and the music is credited to Kenny, Anthony Jackson, Adam Spark and Adam Weston. Universes went on to a J Award nomination for Australian Album of the Year.
