Wild at Heart consists of ten previously unreleased tracks. Like Home Before Dark and 12 Songs, Diamond's 2005 collaboration with Rubin, the production on Wild at Heart is stripped-down. The instrumentation is mainly acoustic, with Mike Campbell, Smokey Hormel, Matt Sweeney and Diamond on guitar, and Benmont Tench on keyboards.[2][3][4]
Revised for release in 2026, Wild at Heart was called "both a memento from Diamond's late-career resurgence and a twilit reminder of his vitality as an artist".[3]
