On August 21, 2011, Flo Rida released the album's lead single, titled "Good Feeling", that samples Etta James' song "Something's Got a Hold on Me".[2] Produced by Dr. Luke and Cirkut, the song did inspire "Levels" performed by Avicii, which also contains the Etta James sample. The song was very successful all across the world, peaking at number 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and also it became certified 3× platinum for shipping around two million copies in the US alone.[3][4]
The album's title track was released as the album's second single on December 19, 2011, and it features Australian singer-songwriter Sia as a vocalist. The song has sold 3,000,000 copies domestically and over 6,000,000 copies globally. The album's third single "Whistle" produced by DJ Frank E, was first played on April 16, 2012, on The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Sydney radio station 2Day FM. The single reached a peak at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, which it became very successful around the world.
The album's fourth single, "I Cry", was inspired by "Cry (Just a Little)" performed by Bingo Players, which samples "Piano in the Dark" performed by Brenda Russell. The single reached the top ten in Canada, France, the UK and the US. A remix of Sweet Spot featuring Jennifer Lopez was released March 13, 2013. The album's sixth single "Let It Roll" was released March 22, 2013. The single reached the top 20 in the UK.

Reception
Commercial performance
The album debuted at number 14 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 31,000 copies in its first week.[5] To date, the album has sold 311,000 copies in the United States.[6]
Upon its release, Wild Ones received mixed reviews from music critics.[13] At Metacritic, which assigns an average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 54, based on ten reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[13] Although he perceived the album's creative scope to be limited, David Jeffries of Allmusic called Wild Ones "gimmicky, lightweight, and best taken in small chunks, but get a glitter-friendly crowd together and it gets the party started, succeeding at its one and only goal".[8] He also observed the album's material to be largely "hot, infectious fluff", but felt that the album "would be dragged down by any tacked-on sense of purpose, and thinking of Flo Rida as equal parts thrill seeker and hitmaker is easy".[8] However, Rolling Stone's Jody Rosen felt the album's production to be too inconsistent, observing that the album's "inhumanly supersized... dance beats" were either "genius" or "insipid", also writing that Flo Rida "[is] content to surrender center-stage on his producers".[12]Complex called the album cover art the sixth worst cover of 2012.[14]
