"Jerkin'" was the fourth and last single cut from Cartoon Darkness, the third album from Australian punks Amyl and the Sniffers, released through B2B and Virgin Music in October 2024. Nick Launay produced, recorded and mixed it. Amy Taylor wrote the words and shares the music credit with guitarist Declan Mehrtens, who adds keys here, and drummer Bryce Wilson, with Kevin Romer holding down the bass.
It turned into a trophy magnet. At the 2026 APRA Music Awards it took Song of the Year, the band's second straight win in that category after "U Should Not Be Doing That" the year before, and Most Performed Rock Work on top. John Angus Stewart directed the video, which set out to peel the taboos off the human body and look at it openly.
