The Writing's on the Wall (OK Go song)
"The Writing's on the Wall" is a song written and performed by the alternative band OK Go. It was released on June 17, 2014, as part of the band's EP ''Upside Out'', and is also the first single from the group's upcoming album ''Hungry Ghosts''. On the same day, the band released a music video in which the members use props to create optical illusions, reflecting the song's description of a relationship that fails because the couple has different points of view. Like previous OK Go videos, it is structured as a one-shot music video. The many YouTube views of the video caused the song to debut in the top ten of the US ''Billboard'' Hot Rock Songs chart, as well as number one on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. The extended-play version received critical acclaim.

OK Go frontman Damian Kulash said "The Writing's on the Wall" was written around "that moment in a relationship when you realize it’s coming to an end and that it’s inevitable", where there is the "feeling of having something coalesce and fall apart, like chaos and order".〔 He said the song is written to be "melancholic and jubilant at the same time". The song was produced by Tony Hoffer, and was the only track on their fourth full studio album ''Hungry Ghosts'' to be produced by him and not Dave Fridmann. It lasts for three minutes and 35 seconds. The arrangement of the mix consists of two heavily-distorted bass guitars and drums, which Fridmann described as "very standard". The band spent a lot of time working on the bass parts sounding distorted, which were re-tracked with a Music Man StingRay. Friedman said "it was fun to track a live band because it was highly unusual for that session. We just knew that on this song, having them play together was the best way to tell whether our ideas were working.”〔
The band released "Writing" alongside three other songs as the ''Upside Out'' EP on June 17, 2014, as a teaser for ''Hungry Ghosts''.〔 Reviews of the song were positive upon release. Roberts Randall, writing for ''The Los Angeles Times'', said "Writing"'s melody has a New Order feel, while Chris Conaton of Popmatters called it "catchy, with a compelling vocal performance from Damien Kulash and a strong lyrical premise". "Writing's on the Wall" debuted at the top position of ''Billboard'''s US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, an extension to the ''Billboard'' Hot 100,〔 and in the top ten at number ten of the American Hot Rock Songs chart, marking OK Go's first entry on the chart. It was powered by 2.2 million US streams, with 92% of them coming from views of the music video. In the Ukraine, the track also debuted into the top ten, starting at number seven on the FDR Rock Chart.〔 The song was featured in ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2''.
