"Back 2 the Wild" is a song by English electronic music duo Basement Jaxx, released on April 12, 2013 via London-based independent label 37 Adventures. The song was written and produced by group members Simon Ratcliffe and Felix Buxton while Korean artists Baby Chay and Miss Emma Lee contributed the vocals. At the time of the release, "Back 2 the Wild" was intended to be the lead single of their then-upcoming seventh studio album entitled Music, but the idea was eventually scrapped. The group instead released Junto (2014), which deluxe edition features the song's Korean version and remixes.

Upon its release, "Back 2 the Wild" received critical acclaim from music critics. Mat Maitland and Natalia Stuyk directed its accompanied music video. Female idol group Team Syachihoko was chosen to perform the song's Japanese version released in May 2015. MTV Video Music Awards Japan nominated the version's live performance video for Best Collaboration that same year.

The song made its premiere on BBC Radio 1 show Annie Mac.

After the release, the band's publicist announced more single releases to follow and a possible of a new studio album.

"'Back 2 the Wild' we did as kind of house track to fit in with the world," Buxton said, "and everyone found it really left field and everyone said, 'God it’s really kind of quirky and arty and weird,' and we were like ‘That’s us trying to do something straightforward!’ So in a way, it’s great, and it goes down so well live, but it ended up falling a bit more into the 'arty' bracket. I didn’t mind at all: that’s great for me."
