"Wildfire" followed "Paper Doll" as the second single from Paradise Valley, John Mayer's sixth album, in 2013, and he wrote it alone and produced it with Don Was. The album takes its name from his home along the Yellowstone River in Montana's Paradise Valley, where he'd lived since 2012, and it picks up where Born and Raised left off, only with more instrumental breaks and electric guitar taking over from the harmonica.
Mayer sings lead, with Zane Carney on guitar, Sean Hurley on bass, Rami Jaffee on keyboards and Aaron Sterling on drums and percussion; Chad Franscoviak engineered and Manny Marroquin mixed. The single officially went to Triple A radio on August 20, 2013, the same day Columbia put the album out.
