The song is mid-tempo and it has a retro vibe to it; moreover, it is featured on their forthcoming studio album, WHO, which will be released on December 6 via Interscope Records. Judging from “I Don’t Wanna Get Wise,” the album should be a real treat.

Regarding this new single, lead guitarist and principal songwriter Pete Townshend remarked that he wrote it in a mid-’70s style. “Like a song from an album like The Who by Numbers,” he explained, prior to offering a warning. “Don’t get old. You might get wise,” Townshend said.

“I Don’t Wanna Get Wise” is available on Apple Music, Amazon Music and on Spotify. The Who continues to rock like no other. This song garners two thumbs up.
