Jessie Ware wrote "Wildest Moments" with Kid Harpoon for Devotion, her 2012 debut album, and it went out in the UK as a download at the end of June that year. Harpoon and Dave Okumu produced it and handled much of the playing between them, Harpoon on guitar, keyboards and percussion, Okumu on piano and backing vocals, with Leo Taylor on drums and Lexxx on the mix.
Pitchfork crowned it Best New Music and later slotted it at 21 on its list of the year's top 100 tracks. The video is almost defiantly plain, one unbroken shot of Ware seated and singing while the camera circles her slowly, and it leaves the song's slow-burning drama to do all the work.
