According to Billboard, Owl City, also known as multi-instrumentalist Adam Young, premiered the track on his SoundCloud account yesterday in anticipation of its debut on iTunes next week.
The tune is part of Young's upcoming LP, "The Midsummer Station," which features the pop producing prowess of Emily Wright, whose pedigree includes credits on Katy Perry's album "Teenage Dream" and Britney Spears hits like "Hold It Against Me" and "Till The World Ends".
In addition, Young also worked with the Norwegian writing team StarGate, also known as Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel S. Eriksen, whose list of past collaborations includes acts like Rihanna, Beyonce, Ne-Yo and Lionel Richie.

The song is undeniably catchy and only ups its pop quotient with the appearance of Jepsen, the current number one Hot 100 artist who continues her reign on the top spot for the second week in a row with her infectious pop track, "Call Me Maybe."
The masterminds behind this collaboration are none other than Scooter Braun, Justin Bieber's manager who recently signed Jepsen to his label Schoolboy Records, and Young's manager, Steve Bursky of Foundations Artist Management.
"Big thanks to @scooterbraun and @stevebursky for hearing #goodtime and putting me and @carlyraejepsen together!," Young recently tweeted in an acknowledgment of gratitude.
