Background

Speaking about the album in March 2011 to Blues & Soul, Kev Nish of Far East Movement stated: "'Free Wired' was basically a slang-word we came up with back in the day, that we'd use whenever we'd do something that was outside the box, that was original, that was fresh, and that mashed-up things that maybe shouldn't have been mashed-up! Which is why, when it came to titling this album, it made so much sense! Because it really represented our lifestyle, represented what we listen to... You know, we'd basically go in the studio and take hip hop-style drums, electronic synths, alternative-style hooks and just – as I say – mash it all up!... So yeah, with 'Free Wired' you definitely get exactly what it says in the title!"
