Wow

About this song

Beck wrote the song as a follow-up to his 2015 single "Dreams" and leaned into trap sounds. He almost held the track back from his record label, worried it had come together too quickly, but his kids convinced him to share it, and the label chose it as a single. Beck also tried to get Chance The Rapper to guest on the track, though that didn't happen.

What it's about

The song is about seizing the day, trying your best, and carrying a sense of wonder through life. It is also built for festival crowds and live shows.
