"Houdini" is a song by American indie pop band Foster the People from their debut studio album "Torches". Written by the group's frontman Mark Foster, the song was first released as a promotional single exclusively in the United Kingdom on April 1, 2011. The song was released as the album's fifth single on May 15, 2012. It is featured on the soundtracks for video games SSX and Sackboy: A Big Adventure and in the episode "Yes, Then Zero" of Gossip Girl. The song appeared in the 2012 film LOL. It also appeared in the TV shows Awkward and Suits.
This song is a lyrical representation of Foster’s fears of rejection, and his fierce internal conversation on whether to experiment with his music or just to stick with what he knows, and get by on only his musical talent.
