This song, produced by Colin Thurston and featured on their album "Rio," became an international hit, reaching high positions on music charts and gaining heavy exposure through its iconic music video filmed in Sri Lanka. The song's lyrics and imagery evoke a predatory, intense pursuit, inspired in part by the story of Little Red Riding Hood, with the phrase "hungry like the wolf" symbolizing desire and pursuit.
