"Synesthesia" is a song and the debut single from Andrew McMahon's debut solo EP The Pop Underground, released on April 2, 2013 as a digital download and first physically available in the deluxe preorder package of The Pop Underground as a 7" picture disc.[1] The single marks McMahon's first single release separated from his prior bands Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin, as well as his commissioned writing for Smash, and also his first single as an independent artist. The single is produced and mixed by Tony Hoffer and written by McMahon and Mark Williams.

Musically, the song is a new direction for McMahon, who embraced a more electronic, synthpop sound on The Pop Underground. Lyrically, the song documents various autobiographical aspects in McMahon's life at the time of the song's writing. An accompanying music video was directed by brother duo Hamilton and Cooper Karl in Claremont, California. It was released on McMahon's VEVO page on June 13, 2013.[2][3]
