Busby Marou sent "Biding My Time" to radio in 2010, and it became the lead single from the Australian blues and roots duo's self-titled debut album. Tom Busby has said they first called it "The Chase", a name he found ironic, since the song is really about staying put in one place, waiting and hoping for something good to turn up. It was the album's final song to be written, knocked out in the studio at speed, and he admitted there was a girl in mind who didn't stick around much longer than the writing took.
After a July 2011 Like a Version session for Triple J, where the pair also tackled Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", it was reissued digitally that September with the Lauper song attached, and it went on to win Blues & Roots Work of the Year at the 2012 APRA Music Awards.
