"Get Wild" is a song by The New Power Generation, and the first single from their 1995 album, Exodus.^[1] The song was a hit in the UK, reaching number 19 in the UK Singles Chart.^[2]

"Get Wild" is a funk song, in the style of Parliament and Funkadelic. The lead vocals are by Prince who delivers a rap during the bridge, and some Spanish vocals are provided by Mayte. A maxi-single was released with several remixes of the song.

A remix of "Get Wild" was played in the 1994 film, Prêt-à-Porter and was included on the soundtrack album.^[3]

Prince's rap from "Get Wild" was later reused in a promotional remix of the Gold Experience track, "P. Control".

The B-Side of the single was another album track, the psychedelic "Hallucination Rain". This mid-tempo track is mainly spoken but builds into a soaring crescendo of noise and thundering drums in which Prince's voice can be clearly heard at the end. The single also includes the song, "Beautiful Girl", a remix of Prince's 1994 hit, "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World".

In 1995, Prince released a perfume called "Get Wild", inspired by the song. It was sold through Prince's mail order retail outlet and New Power Generation stores until 1999.^[4] In June 1995, author Jackie Collins sued Prince, claiming he copied the name and design from her own "Wild!" fragrance. ^[5]
