In January 10, 2023, an outtake of the writer’s (Ester Dean) demo of “Wild Thing” by Ava Max leaked. The song was originally called “Sorry”.
[Verse 1]
I keep on falling 'cause this bomb is about to blow
You keep on lying, see you better off alone oh
Who's calling your blood, I'm calling your bluff, no one to fold
What's the point of a heart if you don't have a heart to make it love, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
One time was innocent
Two times you're having fun
Three times the stars could lie
So what's a girl to do?
[Chorus]
Tonight I'm having fun
You kind of killin' it
Oh babe I already said I'm sorry
If a look could kill a man
My life is in your hand
Oh babe I already said I'm sorry
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I'm walking away, I'm fleeted
You're fighting alone so, who wins?
I made a few mistakes, but one is all it takes
Oh babe, all I can say is sorry
[Pre-Chorus]
One time was innocent
Two times you're having fun
Three times the stars could lie
So what's a girl to do?
[Chorus]
Tonight I'm having fun
You kind of killin' it
Oh babе I already said I'm sorry
If a look could kill a man
My life is in your hand
Oh babe I alrеady said I'm sorry
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I'm walking away, I'm fleeted
You're fighting alone so, who wins?
I made a few mistakes, but one is all it takes
Oh babe, all I can say is sorry
[Chorus]
Tonight I'm having fun
You kind of killin' it
Oh babe I already said I'm sorry
If a look could kill a man
My life is in your hand
Oh babe I already said I'm sorry
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I'm walking away, I'm fleeted
You're fighting alone so, who wins?
I made a few mistakes, but one is all it takes
Oh babe, all I can say is sorry
