"Fireflies"
is the debut single from American electronica project Owl City's album Ocean
Eyes. Relient K vocalist Matt Thiessen is featured as a guest vocalist on the
song. Adam Young described
the song as "a little song about bugs and not
being able to fall asleep at night." The song is built around a
"bleepy" synthline and includes lyrics about insomnia, fireflies and
summer.
The song
topped the Billboard Hot 100 for two non-consecutive weeks. Internationally,
the song also topped the charts in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, the
Netherlands, Norway, Ireland, Sweden and the United Kingdom. "Fireflies"
was Owl City's only top forty hit in the United States until three years later
when "Good Time", a duet with Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen,
charted at No. 8. It has been covered by Christina Grimmie, Cheryl Cole and
others.
Fireflies
was used in the promotional video for Sony's EyePet video game. It is also
featured in Disney Sing It: Party Hits.[5] It is also a downloadable content
for both Guitar Hero 5 and Rock Band 3.
