It appears that "Shooting Star" has been scrapped as a single for now; its June 26 adds date has been replaced with new song "Good Time," a duet with Carly Rae Jepsen. It will be released on the same day to digital retailers and is the lead single from his upcoming album, The Midsummer Station.  |

While I hope its good, the move seems like a desperate attempt at attempting to stay relevant radio-wise.

The 30 second clip I heard of this was seriously one of the worst things my ears have experienced this year. I am hoping it was an unflattering or unfinished clip.

Umm. This could easily go either way. Looking forward to it. It'll certainly solidify a lot of people's opinions on Jepsen.

Remember when people thought listening to Owl City made them cool?

And on the flip side of that coin: I wanted "Shooting Star." :( |

As much as I love Owl City, I didn't think the Shooting Star EP was anything special, so I'm kind of glad they're moving on to other material.

And Carly Rae's career ends even quicker than I would have expected.

Heard this today on the radio... Catchy but nothing special on first listen.
My sister and I sang along and we only heard it once. It was stuck in our heads for a bit but now I hardly remember it.

Full song is on AllAccess. It sounds like it could smash. But will it?

This isn't her single, it's his. I read somewhere couple days ago that this her 2nd single too.. And I really like this. Carly sounds good, and I like her verse the best :) |

I've got this on repeat.
Although I will admit this sounds as desperate and forced as expected; but oh well.

Sounds pretty good to me. Who cares if it is "forced" or not lol...give me a break. This is the pop music world. You do what you have to do to survive and if featuring Carly on your song is forced, it is one of the LEAST forced things even in the last few weeks/months of this year.

No. This is a forced attempt from Owl City to remain relevant on radio after a relative fall from grace in that department, clinching onto the current artist of the moment who just broke through with wide international success. And you can hear parts which really showcase that. I already noted that I am enjoying it, so being forced doesn't effect how listenable it is for me, but noting the song for what it is shouldn't make you fall back on the stan-mode cliches of "this is the pop music world" since I'm not using it to discredit the song. |

I never said it wasn't forced. I am saying that it isn't out of the normal to see many artists do this sort of thing. And I am not a fan of either artists lol besides casual

I never said it wasn't forced. "If this is forced, then it's one of the least forced things." implies that opinion.  --- My least favourite part of the song is the little choir outro. |

Not bad. Nice song for the summer, but it really does seem like a desperate attempt by Owl City to remain relevant.

This isn't her single, it's his. I read somewhere couple days ago that this her 2nd single too.. Makes sense... It's essentially a duet, so why not let this bring her exposure until it's time to release "Curiosity" so the two aren't competing? I'm about to listen to it  |

I really like it. Nice and simple like "Call Me Maybe" with some flavor of Owl City thrown in.

I like it. It's nothing new or exciting, but it should easily be a top 10 for the both of them. But it's totally forgettable after it peaks.
