"1981" followed as the second single from Breed Obsession, the third album by Australian alternative rockers Gyroscope, landing on February 18, 2008 as a CD and a download, plus a run of just 500 seven-inch copies sold only through JB Hi-Fi.

It stalled at 67 on the ARIA singles chart, nowhere near the top 50, but Triple J, Australia's youth radio network, gave it high rotation all the same. A writer for the Access All Areas website heard in it the more melodic side of the band.
