"Awkward" was the lead single from San Cisco's EP of the same name, and it also appears on their self-titled 2012 album: indie pop with a wink and a nervous grin. It plays out a crush that tips over into stalking, with Jordi Davieson and Scarlett Stevens trading lines like two sides of the same bad idea. The writing is credited to Josh Biondillo, Davieson, Nick Gardner, Steven Schram and Stevens.
Triple J listeners voted it number 7 in the Hottest 100 for 2011, which pushed it onto the ARIA singles chart at 32. It went platinum in Australia in 2013, took Most Popular Single and Most Popular Music Video at the 2012 West Australian Music Industry Awards, and still landed at 78 when Triple J counted down the Hottest 100 of the 2010s.
