Imagine Dragons released On Top of the World in 2013, as part of their first album, Night Visions. The song was recorded in 2012, along with other tracks that formed the band's debut. The lyrics talk about a feeling of achievement and joy, as if they had reached the top. The rhythm is fast, with piano, guitar and drums that blend into an optimistic atmosphere.

The song's video is based on the Apollo 11 mission, but also includes references to The Shining and 2001: A Space Odyssey. For example, there is a sign that says 'Scene Overlook', a number that appears in Kubrick's film. It also shows a tricycle from behind, as in Danny Torrance's scene. The song was used in several video games, such as FIFA 13 and PES 2013, and in movies such as The Croods and Ocho Apellidos Vascos.
