"Secrets" followed "Rock Show" as the second single from Easy, Grinspoon's second album, and it came out in January 2000 on Grudge, Universal's local imprint. Phil Jamieson wrote the words, the band share the music credit, and Jonathan Burnside produced, engineered and mixed it, with David Coulthard-Clark assisting on the mix.

It's played in dropped B tuning, which gives it a low, heavy growl. It stalled at 83 on the Australian singles chart, but plenty of fans rate it the best thing on Easy. The video casts Jamieson as a man nursing a breakup who plots to rob a pawn shop; one of its two cuts opens with the band firing guns.
