All it took was 30 minutes to come up with the idea behind "Wish Me Luck."

"The original melody was what the verse is, which … I feel like it's hard to write really catchy verses, so that verse was going to be a chorus. But then we decided that it'd be sick to just start the song with a really catchy verse melody and then come up with a chorus to reinforce the song," explains Preston.

"It's the most emphatic Wallows song," he adds. "Like the most dramatic feeling Wallows song to me."

Oh, and the song title is thanks to a Leonard Cohen's Book of Longing!

When we were thinking of a title, I just opened up a Leonard Cohen book and the first words I saw were, 'Wish me luck,' And I said, 'Why don't we make that the title?'" says Lemasters.
