Following the success of Of June and Maybe I'm Dreaming, Young signed to Universal Republic Records in late 2008.[1] His second studio album and major-label debut, Ocean Eyes, was released in July 2009.

Owl City's third studio album All Things Bright and Beautiful was released in June 2011, peaking at number six on the Billboard 200 and selling 143,000 copies. The album produced four singles, with "Alligator Sky" and "Lonely Lullaby" managing to chart on the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. "Good Time", a collaboration with Canadian recording artist Carly Rae Jepsen, peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a top ten chart hit in countries such as Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Owl City released his fourth studio album The Midsummer Station in August 2012; it peaked at number seven on the Billboard 200. On July 10, 2015, Owl City released his fifth album, titled Mobile Orchestra, spawning the singles "Verge", "My Everything" and "Unbelievable".
