= Wild Love =
[Verse 1]
Don’t know what to say to you now
Standing right in front of you
Don’t know how to fade in and out
Don’t know how to play it cool
Lose a little guard, let it down
We don’t have to think it through
We’ve got to let go
[Chorus]
I wanna give you wild love
The kind that never slows down
I wanna take you high up
Let our hearts be the only sound
I wanna go where the lights burn low and you’re only mine
I wanna give you wild love
[Verse 2]
Tried to call you, to feel you close
From a runway in Tokyo
Let’s leave the atmosphere, disappear
There’s always something left to lose
[Chorus]
But I wanna give you wild love
The kind that never slows down
I wanna take you high up
Let our hearts be the only sound
I wanna go where the lights burn low and you’re only mine
I wanna give you wild love
I wanna give you wild love
[Bridge]
(I wanna give you wild love)
(I wanna give you wild love)
Let’s be reckless, unaffected
Running out until we’re breathless
Let’s be hopeful, don’t be broken
Let’s stay caught up in the moment
[Chorus]
But I wanna give you wild love
The kind that never slows down
I wanna take you high up
Let our hearts be the only sound
I wanna go where the lights burn low and you’re only mine
I wanna give you wild love
Oh I said I wanna give you wild love
Give you wild love
Wild love
Wild love
Wild love

Early life
Bay was brought up in Hitchin, Hertfordshire and attended Hitchin Boys’ School. Aged 11, Bay was inspired to play classical guitar after hearing Eric Clapton’s “Layla”. and he used an old rusty guitar with 5 strings he found in a cupboard in his house. When he moved to study in Brighton seven years later at age 18 he gained a greater education from playing the city’s open mic nights, on which he said, “That taught me a lot about writing and performing on my own and trying to hold my own”. “I’m trying to make songs that make people feel something, and if I’m lucky, even move them”. Bay caught the attention of Republic Records A&R after a fan uploaded a video to YouTube of him performing at an open mic in London, and within a week he was signed to the label. His first EP, The Dark of the Morning, was released in 2013. Within a year he was selling out his first UK headline tour.
