Transcription

Background

On June 15, "Walking the Wire" was made available for download with any purchase from the band's online shop.[2] The song was accidentally released onto YouTube and Vevo a day earlier than planned, only to be taken down within a few hours.[3]

Critical reception

Bobby Olivier of Billboard magazine wrote that the song "may be the band's most overtly pleasing pop anthem to date".[4] Lauren Murphy of The Irish Times wrote: "Walking the Wire and Whatever It Takes are both arms-aloft anthems, but the more enjoyable tracks follow an 1980s pop template, like the Hall & Oates-style Make It Up to You and Start Over."[5] Rob Harvilla of The Ringer wrote: "'Walking the Wire,' with a romantic and inspirational anthem that at least sands off the rough edges of all that bellowing/screeching, is the closest these guys have come to their own version of Katy Perry's 'Roar,' or OneRepublic's 'Counting Stars,' or Rachel Platten's 'Fight Song.'"[6] Allen Pham of Daily Trojan wrote: "'Walking the Wire' is one of the usually songs on Evolve's tracklist. Though Imagine Dragons uses less acoustics and more country music here, the song is evidence of the group's potential to achieve 2017-style music stardom while not completely straying from their roots."[7]
