Southern Ontario’s rock & roll firebrands The Wild High return with their electrifying new single, “I Wanna Get Paid,” an anthem of desperate optimism wrapped in country-rock grit. With its raucous energy and sharp-witted lyricism, the track confronts the modern-day obsession with instant gratification, echoing the restless longing for success without consequence.
“I Wanna Get Paid” blends the raw spirit of southern rock with a driving, arena-ready sound. Fueled by swampy slide guitars, massive choruses, and an undeniable groove, the song is a bold declaration of hope even in the face of rock-bottom reality.
“I Wanna Get Paid” is about that daydream of financial freedom without the grind. It’s a reflection on how so many people aspire to exist without effort – just hoping to get paid for being. But at its heart, it’s also a song of resilience, about holding onto hope even when you’re at your lowest. – lead vocalist/guitarist Jon Harvey
Born from the mind of Jon Harvey (former lead vocalist/songwriter for Canadian rockers Monster Truck), The Wild High is a country-rock juggernaut that delivers joy, passion, and singalong energy with every track. Rounded out by an all-star lineup featuring Myke Penney (The Jailbirds), Pete Antoniou (Revive The Rose), Zander Lamothe (The Zilis), and Ryan Ethier, the band channels the rowdy spirit of classic rock with a fresh, modern twist.
Following their breakout single “Luke and Lee,” The Wild High continue to carve their own lane with “I Wanna Get Paid,” a track that marries vintage tones with contemporary swagger. It’s an anthem for the dreamers, the hustlers, and anyone who’s ever stared down rock bottom with a grin. So, buckle up. The Wild High are here, and they’re taking you along for the ride.
