"Creepin'" arrived in October 2016 as the lead single from After Hours, Close to Dawn, the second album from Australian alternative rockers Kingswood, which followed in 2017. It opens gently, all soothing psychedelic guitar and singer Fergus Linacre's soft, soulful croon, and then the trap springs: thunderous drum rolls, a bass line built for stadiums, and a moody build that toughens into a grungy riff and a wild guitar solo at the song's midpoint.
Linacre told Triple J the song is about the small, dark voice in everyone's head, since all of us are creeps at heart; Music Feeds heard a longing for a love that is forbidden and out of reach. It was up for Rock Work of the Year at the 2018 APRA Music Awards, and in 2025 it went gold in Australia.
