"Lions in the Wild" is a song recorded by DJs and record producers Martin Garrix and Third Party. It was released on iTunes and streaming services after he premiered the song at Ultra Music Festival 2016 on 27 May 2016.
"Lions in the Wild" features "a melodic synth-driven drop and dramatic snare-stuttered builds". This collaboration with British DJs Third Party was premiered by Garrix at the Ultra Music Festival 2016 as his opening song. It is his second single since launching the record label STMPD RCRDS.
The music video which was filmed in Africa, and some parts, in Thailand, was uploaded on Martin Garrix's official YouTube channel. As of 13 October 2016, the video has over 16 million views. The video begins with Giaro Giarratana, the director and producer of the music video, driving by a desert where he stopped to stroll around. He then moves on to climb rocks before riding a desert buggy through the desert. The video concludes with Giaro visiting the local community before riding a dirt bike through rocky mountains.
