"Plans" was the second single from Birds of Tokyo's self-titled third album in 2010, and it became the song that broke them wide open. Ian Kenny has said the song fought them in the writing; they shelved it, came back, and suddenly the demo had some guts to it.
Scott Horscroft produced it with Adam Spark co-producing, Michael Brauer mixed, and the lineup plays it big and wide: Kenny and Spark on vocals, Spark on guitar and keys, Anthony Jackson on bass and Adam Weston on drums. It became their most successful single, peaking at 11 in Australia as their first top-50 hit, earned an ARIA nomination for Single of the Year, and went triple platinum on sales of over 210,000.
