"On My Knees" is Rüfüs Du Sol turning the lights down on Surrender, their fourth studio album, and it went out as the record's third single in 2021. The group's James Hunt said they set out to write something darker and edgier than usual, a track that really drives, and they leaned on the club records they love when programming the drums. The result is a shadowy, after-hours thumper built for a big room, and Hunt said it had already gone over huge when they tried it at their Red Rocks shows.
Tom Norris mixed it. At home it opened at 68 on the ARIA chart, earned ARIA nods in 2022 for Song of the Year and Best Pop Release, and a year later took home the APRA trophy for the most performed dance and electronic work.
