The story behind the song

"Top Of The World" captures the pure joy and exhilaration of finding love and happiness. The lyrics paint a picture of being so completely content and uplifted by a relationship that it feels like you're soaring above everything else. Originally an album track on the 1972 album A Song for You, the duo decided to release it as a single after another artist's successful cover. Karen Carpenter even re-recorded her lead vocal for the single release, aiming for the perfect expression of this blissful feeling. Playing this song should feel like a celebration of love's highest peaks.
