Peking Duk, the Australian electronic duo, released "Wasted" on 2 February 2018 through Sony Music Australia, and by their own account it was born at about 3am in London after a long night of drinking. Adam Hyne has told the story: the chords came first, then Reubs put down a bassline, and they started riffing on words and melodies, trying out vocal ideas in a ridiculous retro voice that kept cracking them up over a bare-bones, blaring beat.
In the end Hyne yelled out the lyrics they'd written, and the rough, rowdy result stuck. He's the first to say it isn't reaching for anything grand: it's a fun song, made by people having fun. It peaked at 66 on the ARIA singles chart.
