Counting Stars是美国流行摇滚乐队OneRepublic的单曲，该曲出自于他们的第三张录音专辑《Native》，也是该专辑下发放的第三首单曲，该单曲发行不久后便迅速进入美国、英国、澳大利亚等多个国家的单曲排行榜中，并在澳大利亚、德国、爱尔兰和新西兰等国的单曲榜中达到了前5的排名，在英国单曲榜更是获得了冠军歌曲的成绩。

Counting Stars MV于2013年5月10日在路易斯安那州新奥尔良拍摄，2013年5月31日发布。MV中乐队在阴暗潮湿的地下室演奏歌曲，值得一提的是还有鳄鱼在地下室来回游荡，在地下室的上层有数人正在进行宗教活动以祈祷自己能够得到金钱和名利，在MV的最后，有一个人因为地板破裂而掉入地下室，宗教活动也随之暂停，在场的所有人都在惊讶地围着地板破洞看着下面的乐队成员。歌曲和MV传达了当今社会人们对名利的渴望而造成的巨大压力以及人们应该从中摆脱回归自由。
