"'Jungle'" is a song by Australian singer Emma Louise, which was uploaded on Triple J Unearthed website on 5 March 2011 before being released officially on 31 March 2011 as the lead single from Emma Louise's second EP 'Full Hearts & Empty Rooms'. The music video was released on 23 May 2011.
At the Queensland Music Awards of 2011, "Jungle" won Song of the Year.
The song gained international success with a remix by German DJ Wankelmut, retitled "My Head Is a Jungle" in January 2013. Emma Louise's solo version has charted in its own right in a number of countries, most notably peaking number 3 on the French Singles Chart. After the success of the Wankelmut remix, Emma Louise included both versions on the European edition of her 2013 studio album 'vs Head vs Heart'.
