"Shooting Star" was the second single from Fractured Life, the debut album by English indie rockers Air Traffic, released on EMI in June 2007 after first turning up on their Never Even Told Me Her Name EP. It reached number 30 in the UK.
It's a big, open-hearted indie anthem, and it found a second career in advertising and television: it ran over the opening credits of the MTV reality show Living on the Edge, soundtracked a Davidoff Cool Water ad in Britain and the YouTube reality series The Suburbs, introduced the Phantom Coupe on the Rolls-Royce website, and later turned up in a promotional film for UK Power Networks.
