“Mariposa” is a single by the Bay Area collective Peach Tree Rascals, released on August 28, 2019 by Homemade Projects and 10K Projects. The song went viral on TikTok, being used for more than 1.6 million videos, and peaked at 13 on the Billboard Hot Alternative Songs chart.

“Mariposa” peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot Alternative Songs chart, spending seven weeks in the top 25. The song also charted in Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.

“Mariposa” was created because of member Joseph Barros’s love of guitar. The framework for the song was completed in nearly a day. The group cited Yosemite National Park as a key role in the song’s production, with the title being a reference to both Mariposa Grove and metamorphosis. The reference to metamorphosis represents growing as a human. The group recorded the song in a wooden shed.

The music video was released on the same day of the song’s release. The acoustic version of the song was released on July 17, 2020.
