  The parent album for "Wild One" has been certified 3x Platinum | Faith Hill started her recording career with a number one on the Hot Country Songs chart, although it wouldn't be until 1995 that she had her first song chart on the overall charts with “It Matters To Me”. Nevertheless “Wild One” found a rightful place at the end of the tracklist on Faith's last compilation The Hits. “Wild One” introduced America to the blonde with a knack for storytelling, something she would follow up throughout her career. Faith Hill was not the first to record “Wild One”. She was the third after Zaca Creek and Evangeline. However, she was the first to make it a hit. Faith Hill has never been a songwriter, what she brings to the table is her sturdy voice and her ability to interpret a song. “Wild One” required youthful exuberance, something she delivered with ease. |
In the grand scheme of her discography, “Wild One” may not seem the most notable. It certainly wasn't the runaway chart success of “This Kiss” or “Breathe, but what it did was set her up for all the success that was too follow. Five Grammy's and all of her studio albums reaching multi-platinum certifications.

Perfect in how straight forward it is “Wild One” is the kind of song you sing in a smokey dive bar at 2:00 in the morning, screaming the final bridge, “they tell her life is hard, she said that's all right!”
