17 years ago, owl city released fireflies.

I implore y'all to listen to the whole album this one's off of. There's very few artists with as unique a sound as Adam Young.

I hated this song 17 years ago and that isn't changing now

Not even his best song. Good Time and When Can I See You Again both clear.

I LIKE TO MAKE MYSELF BELIEVEEEEEE

When that chorus hit though-

as a Vanilla Twilight supporter I'll travel to you and write a strongly worded letter if call Owl City a 1 hit wonder...

Bro got that Mr Burns posture

No way this song should have banged, but it did.

I thought that was Charlie

Deserving of it's iconic status

17 years ago & I was almost 17 when this came out…

I still listen to this song today in 2026 and it still doesn’t get old

this song is the biggest nostalgia bait ever. i remember hating this song as a kid but now i like it just cus i remember it. but kids today think this song is super cringey and gay and that helps me get back to reality

Is that “tf2 doesn’t need autotune” at 0:20?

Real Music

😭

This guy sings the most beautiful rendition of "In Christ Alone" as well. Great song, many great songs actually from this band/singer.

Simpler times......

Idgaf how “cringe” ppl say this song is. Fireflies has to be the most nostalgic good feeling songs ever released and I’m reminded of much happier times whenever I hear it

A lot of people hate this song but it asked a compelling artistic question: "What if The Postal Service sucked ass"

ID LIKE TO MAKE MYSELF BELIEVEEEEEEE THAT PLANET EARTHHH TURNSSS SLOWLYYYYY

He low key ate with this one. I see why Enchanted was written about him

This is one of those songs I get so angry just hearing. I fucking despise it, everything about it gives off bitch boy energy

I read an article about how our current generations may be the last to see lightning bugs/fireflies as they are going extinct as their populations decline. True or not, I’ll never stop enjoying them until the last one I see.

absolutely terrible song

Nostalgia overload 🥲 the entire album is full of insanely good melodies

I could never get into this song. Even as a kid, this song just irritated my soul.

People will hate on this song and then go and listen to Porter Robinson

And to this day it’s neck and neck with that fuck ass “ahhh ohhh eeee ahhhh” song from 2019
