"Looking Up" is a song by British musician Elton John and lyricist Bernie Taupin, performed by John. It was released on 22 October 2015 as the first single from John's thirtieth studio album Wonderful Crazy Night.
John had simple instructions for Taupin, telling Rolling Stone, "I just said that I even wanted the slow songs to be optimistic. I wanted to make a happy record. 'Joyous' was the word I chose. Not happy, joyous. I said I want it to feel joyous from beginning to end, and even the slow songs should be joyous."[1]
