Background and composition edit

"All This Time" was inspired by songs the band had covered in their early days as a band which had large drops.[2] The song was one of the earliest the band had written,[3] and became a staple of the band's live set since 2017.[1] The band had difficulty recording the song, as the energy from the band's live shows did not translate well to the song.[3][4]

Release edit

The song was released on 12 June 2019.[1] In August 2021, New Zealand musician Lee Mvtthews released a remix of the song.[5]

Critical reception edit

The song was nominated for the Aotearoa Music Award for Single of the Year at the 2019 New Zealand Music Awards, losing to "Soaked" by Benee[6]
