The wildcard section is that part of the song that takes an interesting turn before getting back to the final chorus: it could be a bridge, a breakdown, a solo, or a “middle 8” section, or a combination of these (I’ll expand on this idea in a future post). The essential parts are an intro, a verse, a chorus, a “wildcard” section, and then a final chorus. Here’s a basic layout of a typical pop song.
