"Keeping Time" is Angie McMahon giving herself a pep talk and letting everyone listen in. The Australian singer wrote it alone, words and music, back when she was working up the nerve to commit to music as a career, and it went on to become the third single from her 2019 debut album, Salt.
She has said it grew out of her insecurities, the nagging sense that every other musician around her was better than she was, and that the song is about shoving that doubt aside and getting on with playing. It premiered on triple j, its video followed in March 2019, and in 2023 it was certified gold in Australia. It also turns up on the EP A Couple of Songs.
