"WOW" is a 2016 song by American musician Beck. It is the second single from his upcoming album. Billboard ranked "WOW" at number 60 on their "Billboard's 100 Best Pop Songs of 2016" list.
Background
Beck stated to Zane Lowe that he almost did not give "WOW" to his record label, because of his fears that it was a really bad song. However, his children talked him into it, and Capitol Records ultimately released it as a single. Hip hop artist Chance the Rapper was originally intended to make a guest appearance on the track: Beck told NME, "Four or five months ago we tried to get Chance on 'Wow.' I'm not sure what happened with that."
