U2 unveiled "Invisible" in a Super Bowl ad in February 2014, a stand-alone single produced by Danger Mouse and cut during the sessions for their 14th album, Songs of Innocence. For 36 hours it was a free iTunes download, with Bank of America giving $1 for every copy to (RED), the HIV/AIDS organization Bono co-founded, and the promotion raised $3.1 million.
It is an electronic-tinged rock anthem about leaving home for London as young unknowns desperate to be noticed, shot through with Bono's stormy relationship with his father. Critics mostly liked it, it topped Billboard's Adult Alternative Songs chart, Mark Romanek directed the video, and the band played it on the observation deck of 30 Rockefeller Plaza for the first episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
