Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Shooting Star. By Songfacts®.

This optimistic tune is the title track of an EP that was released by Adam Young under his recording name of Owl City on May 15, 2012. The four-track disc was a pre-release sampler of material from his fourth album.

This song was recorded in New York and co-produced by the Norwegian songwriting and production team Stargate, who comprise Mikkel Eriksen and Tor Hermansen.

The synthesizer piano intro originated from something Young created for his 2009 Ocean Eyes set. "I could never make it work at the time," Young recalled to Billboard magazine, "but Stargate heard that little synth line and built a great track around it. It just kind of happened out of mid air."
