Calum:

When I walked into the studio, Ash and Jason Evigan had the bass line and the drum groove, I’m pretty sure. And all the lyrics were done, and the full production was there.

I remember leaving the studio and thinking, that was so much fun. It felt writing the song was a by-product of everyone just having a good time and being creative.

The song is one of my favourites conceptually because it’s really empowering for our fan base. Most of our fan base is female and it’s just talking about how stupid dudes are which I’m reminded of every day and in the bridge, there is an excerpt of this scientist talking about the scientific research behind how guys mature um slower than women and I think it’s cool that we could write a song about that.

Ashton:

The influences for this song come from several different places. It has this kind of Aussie’s dance feeling that is, in my head, compartmentalized. It has this kind of freaky note choice, this weird Lydian scale, that’s almost like you’re summoning a snake or something. It talks about men being stupid for a long time in their lives, until they reach around thirty and your hippocampus is finally developed, and you can finally relate to your female counterpart. In our lyrics, we actually talk a lot about psychology, which I don’t know if a lot of people pick up. In “Evolve,” we talk a bit about [Carl’s Jung shadow theory], and about meeting someone that you want to grow up for, as a man. I just love that concept, I just relate to it hard. It’s maturity desguised as fun.
