"Point of View" is a song by Italian electronic music group DB Boulevard, written by Alfredo Comazzetto and vocalist Moony under her real name, Monica Bragato. The song is based around a sample of "Heatwave" by French band Phoenix, so Deck D'Arcy, Laurent Brancowitz, Thomas Mars Jr., and Christian Mazzalai are also credited as writers. "Point of View" became a chart hit in Europe and Australia and topped the US Billboard Dance Club Play chart.
Music video The music video of the song features Moony as a computer-animated cardboard woman in a world all made out of a cardboard box. She leaves her apartment and enters a small car driving through town, only for her to see herself on a billboard. Moony imagines her performing with her band in the climax.
