==History==
B0UNC3 was inspired to write the original Paradise on E after he finished Crying Soul."Newgrounds: Reviews for B0UNC3 - Crying Soul (The Original), page 4" (Response to tageneislover's review)
An early demo was released in May 2005, which was voted 5th best song of the week by Newgrounds' community and most notably used in Eggy Easter."Newgrounds.com Presents: Audio Portal" (June 1, 2005 archive)
The final version was published a month later. While not making that week's top 5, it went on to receive over 160,000 plays on Newgrounds alone. It was later featured in The Par Box and Beat Machine.
Contrary to rumors "E" stood for the drug "ecstasy", B0UNC3's said he intended to name the track "Paradise on Earth" but Newgrounds' character limit at the time forced him to shorten it."Myeah and new account.". Newgrounds. April 30, 2012. 
API remixed the song that September, giving special thanks to B0UNC3 for providing him the main synth."Newgrounds: Reviews for -API- Paradise on E [REMIX, page 102"] (Response to BLACKNOISE's review)
B0UNC3 also made his own remix during October, which he originally called "an early stage beta demo"."Newgrounds: Reviews for B0UNC3 - Paradise on E Re, page 14" (Response to Jindo's review)
An extended "club demo cut" with vocals was published the next day.
The remix was never fully finished however. He deleted the club demo years later and retroactively dubbed the first version as the remix.
