When Can I See You Again?

"When Can I See You Again?" is a song by American electronica project Owl City from the 2012 Walt Disney Animation Studios film Wreck-It Ralph. It was written and produced by Adam Young, with additional writing from Matt Thiessen and Brian Lee. The song was made available for streaming on October 6, 2012 via AOL Music.

Background
Following the success of his 2012 hit, "Good Time", with Carly Rae Jepsen, Disney reached out to Adam Young to contribute a song to Wreck-It Ralph. Tom MacDougall stated that he chose Owl City because his music, "felt very much in sync with videogames."

Composition and lyrics
"When Can I See You Again?" is an uptempo dance-pop and synth-pop single. It features Young's "light vocals over a bed of pounding drums and twinkly synths". Young told AOL Music, "As a huge fan of Disney animation films growing up, it was a real honor to write 'When Can I See You Again' for Wreck-It Ralph. I felt like it was really challenging to try to live up to the Disney legacy. I had a blast." Since October 1, 2014, a Cantonese-language arrangement has been used as one of the two theme songs for Hong Kong Disneyland's Paint the Night Parade, alongside "Baroque Hoedown". An expanded version of the parade premiered at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, on May 22, 2015, and features new lyrics and vocals recorded by Young.

Music video
The music video for "When Can I See You Again?" was released on October 26, 2012, and directed by Matt Stawski. It features "fun video game themes" and clips from Wreck-It Ralph. Young told AOL Music, "The funniest thing has been actually standing in front of the arcade game with controls, putting the quarter in. It's great to be back and feel like I'm 12 years old again in the arcade."
