I'm from the middle of nowhere in Minnesota you see, so the ocean has always been a curiously dreamy, ethereal, almost romantic thing to me. Young revealed the origin of the album's title when he said:
The album contains slightly different versions of songs from previous albums, namely "Hello Seattle" from Of June and "On the Wing" and "The Saltwater Room" from Maybe I'm Dreaming. The album has sold 1.1 million copies in the US as of 2012. 1 on the iTunes Store after the album price was lowered for a limited period of time. That same week, its lead single, "Fireflies", topped the Billboard Hot 100. The album sold approximately 18,000 copies digitally in its debut week, and reached the top ten in the U.S., peaking at No. This success also led to the record company pushing back the release date of the physical copy of the album from July 28, 2009, to September 1, 2009. This led to a huge success as the song was downloaded over 650,000 times and helped the album reach No. On July 14, 2009, the song "Fireflies" was chosen as the Single of the Week by the iTunes Store. Just before Ocean Eyes 's July 2009, Owl City garnered two hits on the Top Electronic Albums chart and over 40 million plays on MySpace.
In the 2000s, the works of the Postal Service inspired a wave of emo-influenced synthpop acts such as PlayRadioPlay!, Hellogoodbye, and Owl City. The album contains guest vocals by Relient K vocalist Matt Thiessen on the songs " Fireflies", "Cave In", "The Bird and the Worm", and "Tidal Wave". The deluxe edition incorporates four new tracks, including a remix of "Hello Seattle". A vinyl edition was released, followed by a deluxe edition available on January 26, 2010. It features a photograph of the Burj Al Arab as its album artwork. Ocean Eyes is the second album by American electronica project Owl City, released on July 28, 2009, by Universal Republic Records.
