==Composition== Musically, ''Savages'' features two verses, two pre-chorus and two choruses but no bridge. The track is a midtempo electronic-dance song written by Kõiv, Sarucco and Dahlquist and produced by Dahlquist, under the art name of "Kill Dave". The song was composed in the key of C min at a tempo of 120 beats per minute.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.beatport.com/track/savages-original-mix/11196335|title=Savages (Original Mix)|website=Beatport|accessdate=August 19, 2019}}</ref> The song, as well as the whole ''Shadow Works'' album, is written from an autobiographical perspective, and it narrates the "story of a toxic love", and "it is an unfoldment of two human beings, their divinity and their deepest, darkest shadows".<ref name="clash"/> As a matter of fact, ''Savages'' is about Kerli and the problematic end of her nine years relationship with [[Brian Ziff]], a photographer and former musician she had known since moving to LA. She confessed, in a video blog, that it was "the most important thing that happened to [her]" and that the ending of their relationship was "the most humiliating, strenuous and soul-crushing experience [she] has ever had".<ref name="hiding vlog"/> Even though both Kerli and Brian never declared officially that they were together, Brian once said, in a podcast, that her ex was "the most famous person in her country".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://photographypodcast.net/podcast/243/|title=Sell your fantasies with Brian Ziff|website=Photographypodcast|author=Verginiya Yancheva|accessdate=August 20, 2019}}</ref> Moreover, on July 14, 2016 (a day after 13/7), Kerli posted on her Instagram account a photo with white roses and wrote: "Feeling spoiled💕✨🌙 #bestboyfriend #713", later eliminating the #713. [[K713]] was the code that Kerli and Brian used for several years (it can be spotted various times in the [[Army of Love (song)#Music video|''Army of Love'' music video]]) and 713 was just used by Brian.
