"Champagne" is the lead single from Cavo's debut album, Bright Nights Dark Days.

In 2006, Cavo had just obtained a new bassist, Brian Smith, and had written one song for their new album.

[1] Singer Casey Walker said, "'Champagne,' our first single, is a song that I wrote the chorus in my head and I recorded it on my phone and I showed it to the band almost as a joke because I wasn't sure if it was good or not.

"[2] Cavo are from St. Louis, and the Midwest is often overlooked by rock record labels and radio stations in favor of the West and East Coasts.

Reprise Records also took interest, and once they signed Cavo, they pulled the song from the airwaves and made them re-record it for better quality before re-releasing it to greater mainstream success.
