Wildflower
[Verse 1: Calum]
I hear you callin' out my name
I love the sound, I love the taste
And I can see it in your face
You've got a side you can't explain
[Pre-Chorus: Calum]
You're tellin' me, you're tellin' me, you're tellin' me you wanna come over
You wanna be, you wanna be, you wanna be, you wanna be closer
I love it when you wear your hair down over your shoulder
'Cause I wanna hold ya
'Cause I know where tonight is going
[Chorus: Calum, All]
You're the only one who makes me
Every time we
Tell you what I like
My wildflower
You're the only one who makes me
Every time we
Tell you what I like
My wildflower
You know you are my favourite fantasy
A fatal love song
Waterfall is overflowin'
You're the only one who makes me
Every time we
Tell you what I like
My wildflower
I see the colour in your veins
It makes me smile, it makes me shake (Ooh)
I see the shadow in my brain
And I like its look, and I like its shape (Ooh)
[Pre-Chorus: Calum]
You're tellin' me, you're tellin' me, you're tellin' me you wanna come over
You wanna be, you wanna be, you wanna be, you wanna be closer
I love it when you wear your hair down over your shoulder
'Cause I wanna hold ya
'Cause I know where tonight is going
[Chorus: Calum, All]
You're the only one who makes me
Every time we
Tell you what I like
My wildflower
You're the only one who makes me
Every time we
Tell you what I like
My wildflower
You know you are my favourite fantasy
A fatal love song
Waterfall is overflowin'
You're the only one who makes me
Every time we
Tell you what I like
My wildflower
(Ooh, ooh)
Wildflower (Ooh, ooh)
Wildflower
Wildflower (Ooh, ooh)
Wildflower
[Chorus: Calum, All]
You're the only one who makes me
Every time we
Tell you what I like
My wildflower
You're the only one who makes me
Every time we
Tell you what I like
My wildflower
You know you are my favourite fantasy (Wildflower)
A fatal love song
Waterfall is overflowin' (Wildflower)
You're the only one who makes me (Wildflower)
Every time we (Wildflower)
Tell you what I like
My wildflower
[Outro: All]

This is the lighter side of the album. It’s a step forward for us in that it’s not so dark—we can do this big stadium vocal but also have it be a big, positive, euphoric anthem and not be lame.
On a March 2021 Instagram livestream, drummer Ashton Irwin explained:
So, now the record starts to transform into a lighter tone. When you’re making a record, you need to realize, it’s like a big pie, but it needs to have different flavors to keep people wanting to eat the pie. So, you know, we’ve been through that first era of the record now, we’re up to track 6 and this is where we’re starting to transfer to a lighter, happier tone, for other fans that aren’t into the heavier shit. If I were to quit music today, I’d be like “man, ‘Wildflower’ was one of the best pop songs I was ever involved in.” Like, I just love this song and I think it’s just a beautiful mix of those classic, old school, eagle harmonies put into a super compact pop contemporary song that suits 2020. I love this song.
