Young told Reuters that he is very aware that some will be looking to criticise his next release solely based on the success of his hit single 'Fireflies'.
"There's the whole sophomore slump thing and everybody's going to say, 'Can he do it again? Was 'Fireflies' just a flash in the pan?'."
The Owl City musician said that he is confident in the songs he has finished for his next release, but understands that success can be fleeting.
"I'm pretty optimistic...and, honestly, if this is it, I'm absolutely grateful," Young said. "I was working for Coca-Cola in a warehouse before any of this started, so I'm definitely grateful to be creating rather than hauling around pallets of soda."
Owl City finished a tour supporting Maroon 5 earlier this month.
