"Mushaboom" sits on Let It Die, Feist's 2004 album, and went out on November 23 of that year as its first single, her second in Canada after "Inside and Out". Leslie Feist wrote it on her own, Chilly Gonzales arranged it, and Renaud Letang engineered and mixed. It's a sweet, homespun daydream of a song.
It got two videos: one has Feist among swirling clouds in a sunset canyon, crossing a meadow and dancing with her scarf while snowflake patterns bloom and clear; the other follows her bare feet through the streets of Prague. She sang it on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in January 2006, and it later landed on the soundtrack of 500 Days of Summer.
