Ocean Alley let "Tombstone" loose on 11 December 2019, the third single ahead of Lonely Diamond, the Australian rock group's third album, which followed in 2020. Singer Baden Donegal said the song had been written a good while earlier, but it arrived in the thick of the 2019–20 bushfire season and suddenly seemed to be about it. He had been reaching for the state of the world at large, and he called the timing a strange coincidence at a moment when nearly everyone in Australia knew somebody who had to clear out because of the fires.
The song has kept its grip since: it was certified platinum in Australia in 2023.
