It was written by Goulding and Jonny Lattimer, and produced by Starsmith. Goulding made her debut US television performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on 7 April 2011 performing "Starry Eyed”. When asked what "Starry Eyed" was about, Goulding told Digital Spy: It's about letting go. As opposed to all the sad and depressing things I write about, I decided to write something about the joining together of people in some kind of euphoric state—be it at a festival, at a show or in a club. I wanted a song that would reach out to people of every background and every enjoyment, whether you enjoy a natural high, taking drugs, drinking or whatever. Because I'm essentially a pop artist I wanted to write a song that everyone can relate to. "Starry Eyed" was featured in the 2010 superhero film Kick-Ass and on its soundtrack. The song was used in the MTV teen drama series Teen Wolf and Awkward, as well as during a segment of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in November 2011.
