Dom Dolla wrote and produced "Pump the Brakes" on his own, and the Australian producer put it out through Sweat It Out on 26 March 2021. It's tech house built for the peak of the night: Pilerats' Hayden Davies heard a track rushing with energy, its pulsing four-on-the-floor kick welded to strobing melodies and samples, while EDM.com's Katie Stone called it a clear step on from "Take It", the 2018 single that broke him.
The award shows noticed too. It was up for Best Dance Release at the 2021 ARIA Music Awards and House Song of the Year at the 2022 Electronic Dance Music Awards. Prad Sen's video leans into car culture, parking Dolla's 2001 Toyota Camry in a run-down, overstocked car yard with a cast in matching tracksuits and spoiler-shaped haircuts.
