"Wide Open" puts Beck's voice on Born in the Echoes, the eighth Chemical Brothers album, released in July 2015 on Virgin EMI in Britain and Astralwerks in the States. He wrote it with Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons, the Chemical Brothers produced it, and Rowlands recorded it alongside Steve Dub.
It sits on the duo's first studio album since Further in 2010, a record critics heard as splitting the difference between current electronica and their own old-school sound, and one that became their sixth UK number one. Beck was part of a guest list that also had Daniel Pearce on "Sometimes I Feel So Deserted" and St. Vincent, credited under her real name Annie Clark, on "Under Neon Lights".
