"Resolution" was Australian singer Matt Corby's big moment of 2013: the lone single from his EP of the same name, put out by Universal Music Australia in May and written with Mocky. Corby wrote it while living in Los Angeles, during a stretch when paranoia kept him indoors for days and he couldn't work out why the world frightened him so much. What came out, as he tells it, is an ode to humanity, a song about how he wants to be with people and spread some love without getting sappy about it.
It hit number 5 on the ARIA chart, won Song of the Year at the 2013 ARIA Music Awards and went 7× Platinum at home, while Bryce Jepson's video earned a Best Video nomination. It later resurfaced as an iTunes bonus track on his 2016 debut album, Telluric.
