Mo Kheir and Joe Pascoe met while studying architecture at university in 2007. They joined Brandon Black two years later at a local music jam night. They began as a bedroom-producing act, covering tracks they liked, and performing at open mic nights.
"Revolution" was the first single that attracted attention online. The track earned praise from MTV Iggy in the United States and was subsequently included in United States TV show 90210. No Wyld released their debut album, Preface, on 29 June 2012. The band played at the Loft at Q Theatre to celebrate the release. The band attracted the interest of major sponsors like Red Bull, who included them in a major campaign. In August 2013 they began recording their first EP, Abstract, at Red Bull Studios.
The track "Odyssey" was used in a commercial for McDonald's during Sochi 2014, and later included in the soundtrack for NHL 15, Madden NFL 16 and Need for Speed. "Odyssey" was also featured in the pregame video played before the West Virginia University Mountaineers football team took the field for home games during the 2015 season. In addition, "Let Me Know" was included in the soundtrack for FIFA 16. This song also appeared in EA Sports game, FIFA 17 with "Justfayu" featuring KAMAU.

Like, just by myself
With nobody's help
But, how come every time I try it's like I'm going nowhere fast
Like this just won't last
So I'm paranoid, now
This is frightenin', always tryin', no reaction
I'm not lyin', I don't like when I'm not winnin'
So, won't you give me something now
'Cause I need to move somehow
Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa
I'm trying to find a way that I can go and take on this world
Like, just by myself
With nobody's help
But, how come every time I try it's like I'm going nowhere fast
Like this just won't last
So I'm paranoid, now
In the night when no one's listening, I am dreaming
I envision, I am arriving, at the beginning
That's amazing, I need something to believe in (Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa)
So, won't you give me something now
'Cause I need to move somehow
I breathe [?], ridin', it's something inspirin'
Losing, can't find me now
I breathe [?], ridin', it's something inspirin'
Losing, can't find me now
'Cause if I fall down, then nobody hears me
I better get up, because staying is easy
Living it up is not gonna feed me
You better believe that, hope that you see that
Because just it's me, God, I believe me
Because only the fallen fall for a reason
'Cause no one can change the way that I'm feelin'
Don't give a fuck if they all leave me
Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa
I'm trying to find a way that I can go and take on this world
Like, just by myself
With nobody's help
But, how come every time I try it's like I'm going nowhere fast
Like this just won't last
So I'm paranoid, now (Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa)
I'm trying to find a way that I can go and take on this world
Like, just by myself
With nobody's help (Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa)
But, how come every time I try it's like I'm going nowhere fast
Like this just won't last
So I'm paranoid, now
The lyrics of "Paranoid" by No Wyld discuss a feeling of loneliness, insecurity, and a desire for self-reliance. The song's protagonist wishes to "take on this world" by himself without anyone's assistance. However, when they try, they feel like they are not making progress and are going "nowhere fast." This causes them to become paranoid and frightened, always trying but never achieving any results. The singer needs something to believe in, to give them hope and motivation to keep moving forward. They express their longing for this belief throughout the song, showing that it is their only source of inspiration.
The song's lyrics also touch upon the theme of perseverance. The singer knows that they must keep going even when they fall down because "staying is easy" and giving up won't help them achieve their goals. They refuse to let their insecurities and fears stop them from pursuing their dreams, stating that "only the fallen fall for a reason" and that they must keep pushing forward. The song's chorus repeats the message of the singer's desire for self-reliance and their paranoid feelings of not making progress despite their efforts.
Overall, "Paranoid" is a song about the struggles of pursuing one's dreams, dealing with insecurities, and finding the motivation to keep pushing forward. It emphasizes the need for self-belief, hope, and perseverance in achieving one's goals.
