Kian first put "Waiting" out on his own in July 2018, and the song did the rest: it won the Australian singer-songwriter the 2018 Triple J Unearthed High competition, and by the end of November EMI Music Australia and Republic Records had picked it up for a second release. It later landed on his EP BLISS.
He made it with Jerome Farah, who produced, engineered and co-wrote it; the two split the guitar and percussion between them, Farah added keyboards, and Michael O'Connell mixed. The payoff kept rolling in: triple platinum at home in 2019, a Song of the Year nomination at that year's ARIA Awards, and two APRA Awards in 2020, for most performed Australian work and most performed alternative work.
