"The Wild Ones" is the second single from the album Dog Man Star by Suede, released on 14 November 1994 on Nude Records. The song peaked at #18 in the UK. The ballad is considered a favourite among fans and is one of their most notable songs of this period. The B-side, "Modern Boys", appears as an album track in the US edition of Dog Man Star. The single also features a version of "Introducing the Band" by electronic pioneer Brian Eno.

Brett Anderson has said on numerous occasions that he regards this song as not only the high-water mark of his writing partnership with Bernard Butler, but his favourite of all Suede songs.

The "Wild Ones" music video was filmed in Dartmoor and was directed by Howard Greenhalgh. The video cost £150,000, most of it for computer special effects.

The song "This World Needs a Father" is the only Suede song to feature input from both Bernard Butler and Richard Oakes.

In 2014, NME ranked the song at number 370 in its list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

All songs written by Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler except where noted.
