The star recently opened up on the reasoning behind the love song which has featured in a host of TV shows and films.
It was featured on the album Heart Shaped World and told how it was inspired by a woman seeking to arrange casual sex.
He said it details the feelings when: “What happens when you have a strong attraction to people that aren’t necessarily good for you.”
He added to Songfacts: “This one I wrote really late at night and it was written in a short time, because I remember that a girl had called me and said, ‘I want to come over and talk to you,’ and ‘talk’ was a euphemism.

“And she said, ‘I want to come over and talk to you until you’re no longer able to stand up.’ And I said, ‘Okay, you’re coming over.’ And as soon as I hung up I thought, ‘Oh, my God.
“I know she’s gonna be trouble. She’s always been trouble. She’s a wildcat. And here I am, I’m going to get killed, but I’m doing this.’
“And I wrote ‘Wicked Game’: ‘world’s on fire and no one can save me but you.’ It’s like you start thinking about it, and by the time she came over to the house, I had the song written.
“I think she was probably upset because I was more excited by the song! I was like, ‘Yes, you’re gorgeous, baby. But listen to this song!'”
Meanwhile, Chris has more recently been a face familiar to US reality TV fans.
He has featured as a judge on the seventh series of X Factor Australia alongside Danni Minogue.
