Formed in Young's parents' basement in Owatonna, Minn., in 2007, Owl City earned commercial success and global acclaim two years later with its quadruple-platinum hit "Fireflies." The single, "Gold," is from the group's fourth studio album, The Midsummer Station, which was released in August of this year.
In the video below, Young is supported with backing vocals by keyboardist Breanne Düren during a performance at the Jingle Ball in his home state on December 4. The lyrics to "Gold" are below if you'd like to sing along.
