San Cisco, the Australian indie pop band, opened the campaign for Between You and Me, their fourth studio album, with "On the Line" on 21 May 2020, and the song very nearly didn't make the record at all. Lead guitarist Jordi Davieson explained that the song went through a whole string of versions, and only clicked once the band took another run at it at home from a fresh angle.
What they landed on is pop with a dream-pop haze hanging over it, and the band's own tag for it is "a lament disguised as a pop song". Underneath the shimmer, it weighs whether a love is worth chasing and how easily a shaky relationship can give way.
