"Weekends" was the second single pulled from Night Thinker, the 2017 EP from Australian singer-songwriter Amy Shark, and she calls it an intensely personal song. She wrote it alone, but it took its time: the guitar part was about five years old before she found words she thought were good enough for it. Dann Hume produced and mixed it for Sony Music Australia.
It's about the aimless stretch of being young, killing time in a lousy part-time job and waiting for the weekend to see someone special, and her favorite line is about ringing that person's landline and getting a glimpse of their home life. It went platinum, and at the 2018 Queensland Music Awards it took Regional Song of the Year as well as Pop Song of the Year.
