"Wow" was the second single to be released from Kate Bush's second album Lionheart. The single is an edited version of "Wow", although it is not labelled as such. On all European "Wow" singles, the first 12 seconds of synthesizer chords have been removed. Brazil and Canada used the full-length LP version. The song deals with the dark matter of an aspiring actor who has to perform sexual favours to land acting roles: "Or be that movie queen... he's too busy hitting the Vaseline".
