Kooks vocalist Luke Pritchard penned this orchestral track high above the Atlantic Ocean. He explained to The Sun: "I always take my guitar on flights and I wrote this when I was on a plane to New York. I sneaked into the toilet for a while to write it. When I came out I thought the air hostesses were gonna give me grief. But they were cool - even though I had been in there for two hours."
Pritchard explained the song's meaning to The Sun: "'Time Above The Earth' is one of the statements of the album. It's us doing everything differently. The lyrics are moving away from what we've done before - it's a philosophical song about being above the world and thinking about life."
Kooks guitarist/pianist Hugh Harris arranged the strings on this track.
