"Satellite" is a song recorded by Canadian rock group Nickelback for their eighth studio album, No Fixed Address (2014). A pop rock "power ballad" about an all-encompassing love, the song was written by group members Chad Kroeger and Ryan Peake with Josh Ramsay and David Hodges. Nickelback co-produced the track with Chris Baseford. "Satellite" was released March 23, 2015 as the album's sixth single and serves as the second pop single in continental Europe. The song was later serviced to hot adult contemporary radio stations in the United States on May 11, 2015 as the album's third pop single in North America.[1]
An accompanying music video for the song, directed by Nigel Dick, serves as the second half of a two-part story started in the video for "Get 'Em Up". Music critics were divided on their opinion of "Satellite", with some praising the ballad form and others labelling the song as "cliché." The song only charted in Canada, where it peaked outside the top 40 on the national adult contemporary chart.
