Touch the Sun (song)

Per BroadwayWorld's Michael Major, "Touch the Sun" is "a colorful, ethereal track pinned down by absorbing hyper-pop electronics and delicate vocals" which "crystallizes the intense dichotomy that exists within the Cryalot universe with the trippy self-directed accompanying visuals providing further stark contrast to striking debut single "Hell Is Here"."^[1] Stereogum's James Rettig called it "brighter and sweeter than its predecessor."^[3] Rolling Stone's Selim Bulut called it a "flash of brightness" and a "cathartic release" amongst "all the EP's dark moments".^[4]

Per Perry, "Touch the Sun" "is about the feeling of being invincible and the unshakable belief that you can overcome any difficulties" and "depicts the beginning of the Icarus story; celebrating the courage when he decides to take flight, the excitement of breaking free and knowing that leap of faith is worth all the risks."^[3][5][6]
