"Landed" was the first single from Ben Folds' 2005 album Songs for Silverman. It reached number 77 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 40 on the Billboard Adult Top 40 chart, making it one of Folds' biggest hits.
Per Folds, "'Landed' is about a friend of mine who was in a bad relationship. I just wrote a song about it." String arranger Paul Buckmaster had done arrangement, but Folds left it out on the initial release. Said Folds, "he'd weighed in strong, almost intrusively I thought. [...] I regretted it before it hit the stores and made sure all subsequent versions of the song were released with strings."
