About this song
Chasing Cars is Snow Patrol's biggest-selling single. Its placement at the end of the Grey's Anatomy Season 2 finale was a major factor in its success. Gary Lightbody said the track was not even in the iTunes top 100 before the episode aired, and within an hour after the show it was at number one.
