The song was written by MoZella, Stephan Moccio, Sacha Skarbek, Lukasz Gottwald, and Henry Russell Walter; production was helmed by the last two.

"Wrecking Ball" received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who appreciated its lyrical content and overall production.

Nine weeks later, the track returned to number one, and consequently had the largest gap between number-one sittings in Billboard Hot 100 history.

Internationally, the song charted strongly; it topped the charts in Canada, Spain and the United Kingdom, and charted in the top-ten throughout much of Europe and Oceania.
