“Fireflies” is a 2009 alternative/electropop single by Owl City, a musical project consisting of synthpop artist Adam Young. The song is from Owl City’s album Ocean Eyes. Relient K vocalist Matt Thiessen is featured as a guest vocalist. The song initially debuted at 97, but soon the song became a huge hit in the U.S., reaching #1 on Billboard Hot 100.

The song’s leap to the number one in the U.S. gave its host album a push on the Billboard 200 from #20 to #8.

And it is the best song ever!

I wouldn't compare this to Ben Gibbard's songs with the Postal Service at all. For one thing, the singer of this song is awful and sounds like all of the crap that is popular nowadays. I guess that's what makes it such a hit.

I thought this was The Postal Service when I first heard it. It is pretty catchy and a bit different, I think I like it:)

One of the worst number one singles of the decade, and that's saying something.

I love this song, but it's destined for a "Top One-Hit Wonders" list five years from now.

I generally listen to most kinds of music and I find this piece to be quite enjoyable. (Excuse my strange language) This would be something I would listen to if I were in a good mood or in the mood for a slow soothing song.
