"Jupiter" is a song by American singer Jewel, released in August 1999 as the third single from her second album, Spirit (1998). For the single release, Jewel re-recorded the vocals, gave the song a more pop sound, and changed the title of the song to "Jupiter (Swallow the Moon)". A commercial single was issued in the United States and internationally, credited as the "radio version".

Critical reception

Chuck Taylor of Billboard magazine called "Jupiter (Swallow the Moon)" "simply splendid" and described it as a "savvy, harmony-rippled pop/rock finger-snapper", going to write that the song "embodies all that fans have come to love about Jewel."[1]

Music video

A music video, directed by Matthew Rolston (unlike the album release) was released in 1999. In the beginning of the video, a flash of pictures are shown. Jewel is seen surrounded by neon lamps dancing and later seen sitting in a neon-lit forest at the end of the video.
