"Call of the Wild" is the sixth official single by pop singer Helena Rossi, her ninth single worldwide. It is Rossi's first single written by Alesha, who Rossi supported on her Apocalypse City Live show in the US.

Background[edit | edit source]

Alesha was approached by Rossi's good friend, Elice Claire, who asked her to write music for Helena Rossi. Rossi admits she was afraid to ask Alesha herself as she didn't want to break down any professional barriers. She explains "Alesha literally burst into my little room and said OF COURSE I'LL WRITE FOR YOU, BITCH! Which made me piss my pants a bit."

The song was recorded during the tour, and premiered for a release date of November 9th. The song was reworked and re-launched to radio where it debut in the Top 40 despite it's official release almost a month away.

Music video[edit | edit source]

The video began filming with Robert Rodríguez, an action movie director, on 20th October in a 'super secret' location. Rossi was seen in France filming the video.

Everytime/Dance In The Dark[edit | edit source]

Following the tragic death of pop star Shell Ruin, Rossi insisted on releasing a free track for fans of Shell and herself. The track is a cover of Britney Spear's #1 single Everytime, which was previously performed by Rossi on Live & Loud. The studio version features a segment for Lady Gaga's track Dance In The Dark with altered lyrics.
