"Exactly How You Are" arrived in September 2017 as the lead single from Good Mood, the fifth studio album by Australian indie rock band Ball Park Music, which followed in 2018. Sam Cromack wrote it alone, and it's an unguarded love song about taking someone just as they come.

Triple J's Al Newstead heard the Brisbane group shaking off the gloomier colors of their previous album in favor of warm melodies and a feel-good hook, and Pilerats' Hayden Davies called it a sunny summer anthem. That November the band played it in the triple j studios for Like a Version. It made the APRA shortlist for Song of the Year in 2019 and went platinum in Australia in 2021.
