The fans think, 'This kind of came out of nowhere with no explanation from the artist.' So I put out the EP for that reason."|source=—Adam Young on his decision to release the EP.[2]}}{{Listen|filename=OwlCityShootingStar.ogg |title="Shooting Star" (2012) |description=Sample of the song "Shooting Star" - the single from Owl City's EP of the same name - showcasing his new musical 'style' on his recent work. |format=Ogg}}{{Clear|left}} "I feel that as an artist you should never really look back or repeat yourself," Adam Young tells Billboard during an interview. Young is currently planning for a new album to be released in the summer of 2012 and Shooting Star "is just to help build excitement... for the [new] record coming out." His second extended play "is kind of a preview, and I wanted to make sure the four songs on the EP gave sort of an accurate snapshot or a taste of what the new record is about."[1] Writing and developmentThough Young stays true to his synthpop roots, the EP illustrates his efforts to create a polished and radio-friendly sound, dabbling heavily with European trance in "Shooting Star" and rock on "Dementia".[1] Track listingTrack listing according to Amazon.com[3] {{Track listing| total_length = 14:24 | title1 = Shooting Star | writer1 = Adam Young, Mikkel S.
