Songfacts®:

  • This tune was penned by Owl City (a.k.a. Adam Young) as the theme to director Zack Snyder's animation debut Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole. The song is featured prominently within the film and then plays again as it soars over the end title sequence. It was the first new Owl City song to be released since Summer 2009's Ocean Eyes.
  • The movie is based on Kathryn Lasky's epic fantasy series of novels Guardians of Ga'Hoole. Said Young: "It is such an incredible honor to be part of this film. As a fan of both the children's book series growing up, and Zack Snyder's work as a director, having my music included is pretty surreal. I've been waiting for someone to make a movie like this for some time now. I'm endlessly grateful to be involved."
