The history of the song "Top Of The World" - The Carpenters
"Top Of The World" is a classic song by the American duo The Carpenters, released in 1972 and composed by Richard Carpenter and John Bettis. The song became a huge hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1973.
Composition and Inspiration:
The song's lyrics express the feeling of euphoria and intense happiness that true love can provide. The chorus, with the phrase "I'm on top of the world", symbolizes the peak of happiness and the feeling that anything is possible when you're in love.
History:
The song was initially composed to be just one track on an album. However, when Lynn Anderson's version, released in mid-1973, was successful, the Carpenters regretted not releasing their version as a single sooner.
The Carpenters' version was released as a single on September 17, 1973 and became a huge success, reaching the top of the charts in several countries.
"Top Of The World" became one of the duo's most popular and beloved songs, frequently appearing on compilations and live performances.
