Suki Waterhouse’s New Track, ‘Wild Side’ is a Bittersweet Nostalgia About Past Love

Suki Waterhouse has released a new tune called ‘Wild Side,’ which is slow strumming and wistful. Listen to it below.

The emotional track is taken from her debut album, ‘I Can’t Let Go,’ which will be released on Sub Pop Records on 6th May.

“‘Wild Side’ is about recognizing each other’s past, the beauty and the fear that comes in reminiscing about who you used to love,” she said of the track.

As she sings, Waterhouse reflects on a tumultuous but exhilarating previous relationship: “When you got that ex who’s crazy, they’re always running through your mind / remember when we had a wild side?” 

From July until October, the actress and singer will tour with Father John Misty. In May, Waterhouse will kick up her headline tour, which will include stops in Los Angeles and Brooklyn.

Waterhouse told NME last year that she had wanted to make an album “for so long” and that she opted to do so now because she “had all these things I’ve never spoken about that I felt like I had to tie up before I go into my thirties.”

“[Music] is the only way that I really know how to express certain things, so it definitely felt like, ‘I’ve got to get this format’,” she added.
