Look at the Sky by Porter Robinson Song Info
"Look at the Sky" is a song by American electronic music producer Porter Robinson. It was released on January 27, 2021, as the fourth single from his second studio album Nurture. The song is featured in the soundtrack of the video game Forza Horizon 5, on the Horizon Pulse radio station. It is also featured as a playable song in the arcade game Dance Dance Revolution A3. In 2017, after having not left his studio for some time, Robinson left for Japan with his girlfriend. There, he "started forcing [himself] to do new things and forcing [himself] to spend time not working" and wrote the chorus of "Look at the Sky" there. Later that year, he tweeted "I can make something good." This turned out to be a line from the then-unreleased song. After the release of the singles "Get Your Wish" and "Something Comforting" in early 2020, the rollout of Nurture was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, Robinson's "Second Sky" music festival was cancelled and replaced with a virtual festival named "Secret Sky," which took place on May 9, 2020. Robinson closed his Secret Sky performance with a teaser of "Look at the Sky." The single's official release was announced by Robinson on January 13, 2021. The song is in the key of F-sharp major, with a BPM of 115. A music video was released on February 10, 2021, and was directed by Chris Muir and choreographed by Matty Peacock. Robinson has stated that the music video is about how his work could not be where it is now if not for the contributions of those before him. In the music video, Robinson performs alongside ghosts that stay by his side, before turning into one himself by the end.
