Wild Child is the debut studio album from American actress and musician E. G. Daily, released by A&M in 1985.

Although the album was not a commercial success, the lead single "Say It, Say It" reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Songs Chart and No. 70 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1986.[1] The second single, "Love in the Shadows", reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Songs Chart.[2]

Wild Child was recorded at Arco Studios in Munich, Oasis, Cherokee and Conway Recording Studios in Los Angeles, and Sigma Sound Studios in New York City.[3]

"Just for You" was dedicated to Jon-Erik Hexum, Daily's boyfriend of the time, an American model and actor who died in late 1984 as a result of a firearms accident on the set of the CBS television series Cover Up in which he played the male lead.[3] "Love In the Shadows" was later covered by Celine Dion in French, titled "Délivre-moi", for her 1987 album Incognito.

AllMusic[4]
Cash Boxfavorable[5]

Upon release, Cash Box listed the album as one of their feature picks in February 1986 and stated: "Valley Girls star E.G. Daily takes a stab at music with a respectable debut. An innocent vocal sound disarms the listener and reveals a powerhouse singer underneath".[5] Alex Henderson of AllMusic selected the album as an AMG Album Pick, describing it as a "promising debut". He said: "When people think of Daily, they think of her 1986 single "Say It, Say It" - a very Madonna-ish R&B/pop gem. But anyone who heard Daily's debut album, Wild Child, learned that most of the songs are neither urban contemporary nor dance-pop; overall, Wild Child is a pop/rock album. The LP's most dance-oriented tracks are "Say It, Say It" and an inspired cover of Donna Summer's "Sunset People". But the rest of the tracks are straight-up pop/rock."[4]
