Welcome to the Jungle (Neon Jungle song)
"Welcome to the Jungle" is a song recorded by British girl group Neon Jungle for their 2014 debut album of the same name. It was released by RCA Records as the album's third single on 18 April 2014. The track was written and produced by French duo SoFly and Nius and American rapper Snob Scrilla, with additional songwriting by Cassie Davis and Yoan Chirescu, and additional production by Baby. "Welcome to the Jungle" was one of the first songs recorded by Neon Jungle and served as the inspiration for their band name. It features a rap by group members Amira McCarthy and Jessica Plummer. It is an uptempo electronic dance music-electropop song with a "club-friendly" urban sound and "faint traces" of dancehall and reggae. Lyrically, the song concerns the subjects of partying, relationships with men, and having a good time. It is one of the official songs of the 2015 Copa América in Chile.
==Background==
"Welcome to the Jungle" was written and produced by SoFly and Nius and Snob Scrilla, with additional songwriting by Cassie Davis and Yoan Chirescu, and additional production by Baby. It was mixed by James F. Reynolds and mastered by Dick Beetham, while Chirescu was responsible for the track's guitar melody.〔 It was one of the first tracks the group recorded in 2013; both the song and the group were nameless at the time. Upon hearing the demo version of the song, group member Amira McCarthy was shocked that the track was being pitched to Neon Jungle to record, feeling that it should have previously been a hit for a well-known American recording artist. McCarthy originally felt that it was difficult to improve upon the song's demo version, but once the quartet recorded the studio version, said "it is one of those songs that when you hear it you cannot help but get into it, totally".〔 Thematically, the track was developed as one that would "welcome" Neon Jungle's fans to what the group were about. The song featured a rap that was initially intended as a guest slot, but producers were impressed with McCarthy and Jessica Plummer's vocal conviction during its recording and decided to scrap the planned guest slot altogether.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Neon Jungle )〕
On 7 August 2013, the quartet revealed to the ''Daily Record'' that they had recorded a rap song entitled "Welcome to the Jungle" for their debut studio album. In an interview with Lewis Corner of ''Digital Spy'' on 30 August 2013, the group stated that the track represented them well, while depicting them as "individual" and "different". Originally, "Welcome to the Jungle" was planned to be Neon Jungle's second single, but it was later put on hold in favour of "Braveheart". In a press release on 20 February 2014, the group announced the track as their third single and described it as "a sexy, fun feel-good song with a more mature sound" that is "upbeat" and "shows another side to Neon Jungle." A 30-second snippet of the song was released on 24 February 2014. "Welcome to the Jungle" was premiered on radio in the United Kingdom on 10 March 2014, and made available to pre-order through iTunes with a release date of 20 April 2014.〔 The song served as the third single and the title track from Neon Jungle's 2014 debut album. It was later released on 18 April 2014 as a digital download and digital EP, accompanied by a version of the song without the rap and remixes by Digital Dog, Sharoque, and Ted Fiction. With regard to the reason behind the song being chosen as the group's third single, Plummer explained in an interview with Kate Metcalfe of ''Lights Out Entertainment'': "I think people may have been expecting us to take it down a notch with a ballad but you know what? The weather's getting warmer, let's keep everyone's spirits high! People loved 'Braveheart' and 'Trouble', let's give them more of what they want". In a separate interview, Zdrenka quipped, "We are still fierce but we want people to think they can talk to us at a party. Everyone says we aren't scary when they meet us."
