"Sometimes" opened a new chapter for Australian alt-pop group Cub Sport: it arrived in October 2018 as the lead single from their self-titled third album, which followed in January 2019. PileRats' Hayden Davies heard it as the band's most pop-minded turn yet, setting a euphoric, throwback synth line against their usual indie-pop charm, with Tim Nelson singing brighter and more sure of himself than before.
The video, directed by Brittney Scott and released that October, keeps things intimate: Nelson performs the song in close-up as the picture slides in and out of focus and a landscape rises through the frame in double exposure. The single reached No. 15 on the ARIA Hitseekers chart in February 2019 and went gold in Australia in 2020.
