The song most people mean when they ask “who sings Safe and Sound?” is by the American duo Capital Cities. However, there are a few popular songs with almost the same title, so the exact answer depends on which track you have in mind.

Main possibilities

  • “Safe and Sound” – Capital Cities
    • Artists: Capital Cities (Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian), an American indie pop duo.
* Style: Upbeat synth‑pop/new wave track famous for its catchy trumpet hook and used in a lot of ads and sports montages.
  • “Safe & Sound” – Taylor Swift feat. The Civil Wars
    • Artists: Taylor Swift with Joy Williams and John Paul White (The Civil Wars), for The Hunger Games soundtrack.
* Style: Indie‑folk ballad, darker and softer, with harmonies and acoustic instrumentation.
  • “Safe and Sound” – Sheryl Crow
    • Artist: Sheryl Crow, from her album C’mon, C’mon.
* Style: Adult‑alternative/rock track with a more reflective, early‑2000s singer‑songwriter feel.

How to tell which one you mean

  • If it’s an energetic pop song with trumpet and a big hook used in commercials or sports clips → that’s Capital Cities.
  • If it’s a gentle, haunting song tied to The Hunger Games , with Taylor Swift singing over soft guitar → that’s Taylor Swift featuring The Civil Wars.
  • If it sounds like an early‑2000s Sheryl Crow rock ballad → that’s Sheryl Crow.

If you describe a lyric line, vibe (dancey vs. mellow), or where you heard it (movie, ad, radio), a more precise match is possible.
