"Daffodils" hands the microphone on Mark Ronson's fourth album, Uptown Special, to Kevin Parker, the Australian who records as Tame Impala, and it became the album's second single in 2015. Parker wrote it with Michael Chabon and does far more than sing: he plays guitar, keyboards and bass too, alongside guitarists Carlos Alomar and Kirin J Callinan, keyboard players Jeff Bhasker, James Ellis Ford and Ronson, and Steve Jordan on hi-hat.
Ronson produced it with Bhasker, with extra production from Ford and Riton, and Tom Elmhirst mixed the whole woozy, strutting thing. The audio surfaced on Vevo on 22 December 2014, and American adult album alternative radio got the single on 4 February 2015. Theo Wenner later directed a video starring model Sarah McDaniel that pairs it with "Summer Breaking".
