"Mariposa" (Spanish for butterfly[1]) is a single by the Bay Area collective Peach Tree Rascals, released on August 28, 2019 by Homemade Projects and 10K Projects.[2] The song went viral on TikTok, being used for more than 1.6 million videos,[3] and peaked at 2 on the Billboard Hot Alternative Songs chart.
"Mariposa" was created because of member Joseph Barros's love of guitar. The framework for the song was completed in nearly a day.[4] The group cited Yosemite National Park as a key role in the song's production,[5] with the title being a reference to both Mariposa Grove and metamorphosis.[6] The reference to metamorphosis represents growing as a human.[7] [8] The group recorded the song in a wooden shed. The saxophone outro was recorded by Dominic Pizano's friend Francis Salamanca.[9]
The music video was released on the same day of the song's release. The acoustic version of the song was released on July 17, 2020.[10] [11]
"Mariposa" peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. The song also charted in Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines,[12] Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.[13]
