Sony Music NashvilleKenny Chesney says “Wild Child” is more than just his latest hit — it’s actually a description of the kind of woman he hopes to find.

“I’m very attracted to women that are like that: that love hard, that they’ve got a little bit of island soul to ‘em, they got a little bit of hippie in ‘em, and a whole lot of free spirit,” he confesses. “And I guess, all my years in the islands, I just became attracted to that kind of person, you know, and met so many wonderful people from so many different parts of the world.”

The “American Kids” hitmaker admits he’s drawn to women who follow their passions, whatever they may be.

 “Whether they want to be a doctor, or whether they want to play music in Hawaii, or whether they want to grow a garden, or whether they want to surf around the world or bartend in the islands, or whatever it is their passion is, that’s what drives them, and that’s what this song is about — and I think that’s a beautiful thing to see.”

“Wild Child” is Kenny’s second hit with Grace Potter. The two ascended the heights of the country chart in 2011 with their duet “You and Tequila.”
