It was released as the lead single from the EP on May 15, 2012. The song has so far peaked at No. 176 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 49 on the Japan Hot 100. It was used as one of two theme songs for the 2013 computer-animated film Escape from Planet Earth.[1] BackgroundAdam Young began to write "Shooting Star" in 2008 with Relient K's Matt Thiessen. The song was planned for inclusion on Owl City's Ocean Eyes album (2009), but it didn't make the cut. As work began on the album, The Midsummer Station (2012), Young brought a 90-second demo of the "old leftover instrumental idea" to Norwegian record producing and songwriting team Stargate, who helped complete the composition. Young recalled, "All the lyrics were basically written on the spot during those two days... and then I went back home to my own studio in Minnesota to cut the final (version). I think I tweaked some lyrics here and there to make everything feel better, and then the song was finished."[2] The song was originally intended to be the lead single from The Midsummer Station, but the success of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" led to Owl City's management choosing the duet "Good Time" instead.[3] An acoustic version of the song was also released in 2013, on Owl City's The Midsummer Station - Acoustic EP. Reception"Shooting Star" peaked at No. 36 on the US Christian Songs chart, No. 49 on the Japan Hot 100 chart, and No. 176 on the UK Singles Chart. Scott Fryberger of Jesus Freak Hideout wrote that the song is "still poppy and very accessible, and Owl City fans will probably feel mostly at home, but it has a bit more of a dance music vibe than the synthpop we're used to."[4] Tris McCall of The Star-Ledger called the song "the least successful thing" on The Midsummer Station. McCall added that "while Young can discharge a self-affirmatory verse with the conviction of a choirboy, the song does skirt a bit too close to Katy Perry territory for comfort."[5] Music videoOn May 14, 2012, Owl City uploaded an official audio stream for "Shooting Star" to his official YouTube channel. The video features some type of fox or dog walking around in a city with orange fur. Young posted screen-shots of the upcoming video on his Twitter account for Shooting Star prior to its release. The MTV website includes an interview with Young about the filming of the video. On October 25, 2012, Owl City uploaded the official music video for "Shooting Star" to his official YouTube channel.[6] The video's setting is nighttime in an urban area. The video features scenes of Young playing an electric piano under the street lights and people (who emit light from their chests) running, slowly gathering to all run together in the same direction.
