"Sunsets" came off Vulture Street, Powderfinger's fifth studio album, as its third single in January 2004, and it was written and cut during the seven weeks the band spent making that record in Sydney. Nick DiDia, who had produced earlier Powderfinger albums including Odyssey Number Five, was back behind the desk, and the track was mixed in Atlanta by Brendan O'Brien.
Bernard Fanning pitched the album as drier and more direct rock, but he didn't mean heartless, and this is where the two meet: rock with a power ballad's heart thumping inside it. Critics split on it, some grabbing onto its aggression and its pull, others calling it lumbering. It reached number 11 on the Australian singles chart.
