The music video for the song was directed by Colin Tilley and was shot in in the Little Haiti neighborhood of Miami, Florida.
"Wild Thoughts" is a mid-tempo Latin-inspired song, that consists of Latin percussion and "slinky acoustic guitar lines." The song heavily samples the guitar riff from Santana's 1999 "Maria Maria", which features The Product G&B. Billboard editor Andrew Unterberger noted the "Wild Thoughts" featured the same groove and riff as "Maria Maria" and even featured Wyclef Jean's "murmuring" who supplied the original songs ad-libs.
