"Children of the Sky" (a Starfield song), or simply "Children of the Sky", is a song by American rock band Imagine Dragons released as the soundtrack song for the Bethesda video game Starfield. It was released through Interscope Records and Kidinakorner on August 30, 2023.[1][2] It is the fourth song by the band based on a video game following "Warriors" for the 2014 League of Legends World Championship, "Monster" for Infinity Blade III, and "Enemy" featuring JID for Arcane. The song is featured on the Japanese edition of the band's sixth studio album Loom.[3]

Background and composition

"Children of the Sky" was written by Dan Reynolds, Wayne Sermon, Ben McKee, Mattias Larsson, Robin Fredriksson, and Inon Zur. It was produced Larson and Fredriksson, co-produced by Bethesda Softworks, and mixed by Serban Ghenea. It is the first song released by the band to not feature Daniel Platzman since his hiatus from the Mercury World Tour in March 2023. The song was first promoted on August 29, 2023 when the band posted the cover art of the song and "tomorrow" as a caption on social media.[4] A countdown clock was also added the their official website set for 10 am EST. In a press release, Reynolds described the background of the song:[1]

Bethesda created iconic games we’ve been playing for most of our lives, and we’re honored to have collaborated on this song for Starfield. The song, like the game, asks some of the most difficult questions we face as humans trying to find our place in the universe.”

— Dan Reynolds

Music video

The music video for "Children of the Sky" premiered on September 19, 2023 and was directed by FILFURY, with VFX done by Mister and color graded by Company 3.[5][6] The video features a young boy dreaming about leaving Earth and embarking on a spaceship journey as an adult. He goes through hyperspace throughout the galaxy, eventually landing in a new and undiscovered planet while memories flash through his mind. The last shot is the boy opening his eyes, showing it was a dream. The video's plot similarly reflects the gameplay of Starfield.
