Wicked Game is a song by American singer Chris Isaak, first released on his 1989 album Heart Shaped World and brought to a wider audience in the early 1990s. Its sparse guitar work and restrained vocal delivery helped it become a lasting reference point for moody, romantic atmosphere in film, television and online video. Short excerpts now circulate widely as edit audio, where creators reuse the opening mood to signal longing, nostalgia or quiet drama without needing the full song.
