Moby - Porcelain 1999

"Porcelain" is a song by American electronic musician Moby. It was released on April 25, 2000, as the sixth single from his fifth studio album Play (1999). Written by Moby, who also performs vocals on the recording, "Porcelain" is a melancholic song with lyrics reflecting on the breakup of a relationship. It features a lush musical backing that incorporates reversed strings and various synthesized elements.

One of the most successful singles from Play, "Porcelain" became a top five hit in the UK, and also charted in numerous other European countries including France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. In Canada, "Porcelain" reached number 50 on the RPM national singles chart before the magazine was discontinued, while in the US, it placed on several genre-specific Billboard charts tracking popular records in dance and rock markets. Prior to its release on Play, the song appeared in the 1998 film Playing by Heart and its accompanying soundtrack album. English director Danny Boyle featured "Porcelain" in his 2000 film The Beach, with Moby later crediting the film with significantly raising exposure of the song.

In 2003, Q listed "Porcelain" as one of the 1,001 best songs of all time. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame featured the track in its exhibit "The Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll". Liana Jonas of AllMusic referred to "Porcelain" as "a groundbreaking recording", noting that the song's commercial success "helped bring electronica music into the limelight". Moby named his 2016 memoir after the song. Later, "Porcelain" was prominently sampled on rapper ASAP Rocky's 2018 song "ASAP Forever", with Moby being credited as a featured artist on the track. For his 19th studio album Reprise (2021), Moby recorded a new version of "Porcelain" featuring Jim James of My Morning Jacket on vocals, which was released as the first single from the album on March 26, 2021.
