Songfacts®:

• "Top Of The World" was one of the first songs by Zayde Wolf, the name Dustin Burnett used to create music for placements. It appears on his first album, Golden Age, released in 2016.
  
  "This is a song that I distinctly remember a few things about the process," he said when he was a guest on the Songfacts Podcast. "I realized as I was writing the first batch of songs I wanted them to have swagger, but to be upbeat as well. I wanted to do something that felt up and really fun. At the time, I was thinking about my life and what I want to do, then also thinking about what are the moments right now that I need to not look over. It's always a balance of what are the super-special things right now that you're already on top of the world with, but then what are the things you want to achieve and what are some of your dreams, and to keep visualizing those."
• With lyrics about popping champagne and starting a fire, Wolf calls this a "party song," but it doesn't have to be taken literally. "The advice I give in that song is not necessarily the life I live, it's more lessons back to myself on how you need to see the world and what to do with that," he says.
• This song got a lot of heat in 2017 when it was used in the Steep Alaska video game and in the Dude Perfect year-end video. It also featured in two MTV shows: Are You The One? (season 7 episode 15, 2018) and Teen Mom Og (season 7, episode 3, 2019).
