Interesting facts and trivia about Cloud 9. By Songfacts®.

Beach Bunny began as a bedroom-based solo project for singer Lili Trifilio in 2015 when she recorded a song titled "6 Weeks." She expanded the project to a full four-piece band in 2017 and Beach Bunny dropped their fourth self-released EP, Prom Queen, the following year. The record earned them a contract with Mom + Pop after its title track went viral on TikTok. "Cloud 9" is the closing track from their debut album, Honeymoon.

This joyful surf-pop song finds a loved-up Lili Trifilio feeling like she's on "Cloud Nine." But when he loves me, I feel like I'm floating When he calls me pretty, I feel like somebody Trifilio described this to Apple Music as "a crush song." She added it's about "having feelings for someone and it's just kind of unapologetic and not overly analytical. Like, 'This is how I feel when things are good.'"

The song title does not appear in the lyric, but it aptly describes Trifilio's ecstasy when she's with her lover. The expression "Cloud Nine," meaning elated, derives from terminology used by the US Weather bureau. Clouds are divided into classes, and Cloud Nine was originally the "cumulonimbus," listed as type number nine in the International Cloud Atlas of 1896. Reaching heights of 45,000 ft (13,700 metres), it is also the fluffiest and most comfortable looking of the clouds. A good metaphor for floating carefree, high above the Earth.
