"Busy Earnin'" was the third single from Jungle's self-titled debut album, released digitally on 7 April 2014 and on vinyl on 15 April through XL Recordings, after getting its first airing on Jason Bentley's Metropolis show on KCRW. Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland wrote it, and under the groove it's a song about what happens when making money eats up all your time.
It turned out to be a music supervisor's dream: FIFA 15, Forza Horizon 2 and the opening of Tales from the Borderlands, episodes of Superstore and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and the 2024 film Lift. On the charts it got as high as 19 on the UK Indie Chart.
