The lead single, “Good Time,” which featured Carly Rae Jepsen, peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100. “Shooting Star,” which was originally set to be the lead single, reached #36 on the Hot Christian Songs chart and #39 on the Adult Pop Songs chart.

“The Midsummer Station” Q&A
-
Where do the groovy melodies come from?
According to Songfacts, Young said:
[I] grew up listening to dance music and I’ve always wanted to make a dance record. European dance music has so much influence over pop right now, so it made sense to me. I admire a lot of the great trance DJs of the past ten years, guys like Armin van Buuren, ATB, Above & Beyond, Tiësto, and Ferry Corsten.
