  ## Background and composition
  
  "Walking on Air" was written by Anise K with KC Porter and rap parts by Snoop Dogg, while production was handled by Anise K, KC Porter and Seth Johnson. The song was originally produced with the intention of having Rihanna feature as the lead singer. Due to scheduling issues, Anise had to search for an alternative artist. Bella Blue was brought in as a session singer to pitch the song to potential other artists. The quality of her performance secured her role for the final song. Later, hip hop singer Snoop Dogg came aboard. It was recorded in Perth (Australia) taking opportunity of Snoop Dogg's visit for 2012 Summadayze.
  
  KC Porter, 3-time Grammy award winning producer, overlooked the project officially mixed by Phil Tan, also a 3-time Grammy award recipient.
