"Delete" introduced DMA's to the world in 2014, the Australian band's debut single and the centrepiece of their self-titled EP, later carried over to their first album, Hills End. Matthew Mason, Tommy O'Dell and Johnny Took wrote it together, and it has the kind of big-hearted, swaying chorus made for singing arm in arm.
The video got heavy rotation on Rage and Triple J, and the comparisons to Oasis started flying on social media almost immediately. It was a slow grower rather than a smash, but it went platinum in 2019, and in 2025 Triple J listeners voted it to number 85 in the Hottest 100 of Australian Songs.
