"Oh! Gravity." is the lead single off Switchfoot's newest album, Oh! Gravity.. The song was officially released to radio in late October 2006. However the song was made available for free listening on their website and MySpace in early October, and had found its way onto radio well before the release date.
The track was released for purchase on iTunes on October 21, 2006, along with a 17 minute interview in which the band talked about each of the songs on the then-upcoming album.
According to songwriter Jon Foreman, the song is a "generational appeal for peace, love, and understanding"[1].
[edit] Music video
The music video for this single first premiered on Yahoo! Music on November 13, 2006. The video used green screen technology to superimpose the album's graphical artwork all around the band members, who themselves appear to be spinning in an anti-gravity field. At the end of the video, Jon's face morphs into the middle face on the album artwork.
