From the opening moments of the track, The Wild Things make it clear that any feelings of lust have been replaced with rage over the course of the summer. “Hey son of a bitch,” declares vocalist Sydney Rae White, “First of all, go to hell.” Taking aim at game-playing scumbags and arrogant fools, the track is defiant and self-assured, bringing their summer lovin’ (or lustin’) to an abrupt end over catchy rock instrumentals.

“’I Can’t Wait’ is part two of our love affair story, happening inside New Orleans,” shares White, “The gap between the singles is the realtime breakdown of our character’s relationship, ending in a vitriolic yet cathartic rock song. This song is a real shift for us in some really exciting ways. If ‘Knock Down, Drag Out’ is a nod to our past, ‘I Can’t Wait’ is a window into our future…”

The track is accompanied by a music video directed by Rob Kendrick, which sees the band relishing in the relief of a break-up in glorious technicolour. Alongside the single, the band have also launched The Black Heart interactive voicemail system, where fans can leave a message to their ex in their own search for catharsis.
