"Space Cowboy" is the lead single to Jamiroquai's second album, Return Of The Space Cowboy. Released September 26th 1994, by Sony Soho Square, the single peaked at 17 on the UK Single Chart and number one on the US Dance Charts, being the first song to do so. It as well entered the UK Dance Chart at number one. The song delve's into the freedom and good-feelings that come with getting stoned, as Kay states in an interview.

What is a "space cowboy"? Well, space cowboy is am, analogy for feeling good, feeling high. [..] The space cowboy is y'know it's part, inside you and when you feel really good and you.. [imitating swooshing noises], that's the space cowboy, absolutely. - Jay Kay[1]

The track was further pushed into popularity with David Morales' remix of the song, being ranked in Defected Records' list for 17 Best Remixes Ever.[2]
