Songfacts®:

  • Owl City's Adam Young penned this song for the soundtrack of the Disney movie, Wreck-It Ralph, which tells the story of an arcade game villain who decides to be a good guy. "As a huge fan of Disney animation films growing up, it was a real honor to write 'When Can I See You Again' for , Wreck-It Ralph," said Young. "I felt like it was really challenging to try to live up to the Disney legacy. I had a blast."
  • The song's music video takes us inside of a video game. "The funnest thing has been actually standing in front of the arcade game with controls, putting the quarter in," said Young. "It's great to be back and feel like I'm 12 years old again in the arcade."
