"Magpies," Wild Horse's fan-favorite song, finally makes it to the studio after years of being played at crowded places and on hot festival nights. It's polished, but it still has the energy that made it a hit live. The indie-pop single, written by lead singer Jack Baldwin, is the band's fourth release of 2025 and has the unmistakable energy of a song that has evolved alongside its fans.
"Magpies" explores the scary truth that not everyone around you has good intentions, and that sometimes the only way to find peace is to protect yourself. Jack talks honestly and openly about his experiences in a place where it's hard to trust people and their motives aren't clear. The song tells you to be careful about who you hang out with and to keep your energy safe.
Brothers Jack and Henry Baldwin, along with their lifelong friend Ed Barnes, started Wild Horse, and in 2024, Jade Snowdon joined the band. Years of friendship, family ties, and natural creative intuition have strengthened their chemistry. The song sounds a lot like Wild Horse's unique indie-pop brightness, but it also has a lot of emotional depth.
The band likes to tell stories that everyone can relate to, like the feeling of betrayal from misplaced trust. This is something that almost everyone can understand, no matter what kind of friendships, relationships, or creative settings they are in. "Magpies," Wild Horse's long-awaited studio release, is not only a hit with fans, but it's also one of the band's most essential releases.
