"Trampoline" landed in May 2018 as a single from Melt, the EP by the indie pop trio Shaed, and it's a strange, springy little thing: a hushed, woozy vocal, a stuttering electronic pulse and a hook that seems to bounce off the ceiling. Max Ernst, Spencer Ernst and Chelsea Lee wrote it, the band co-produced with Alex Mendoza, Grant Eadie added extra production and Pat DiCenso mixed.
Its slow-burn rise is the real story. A MacBook Air commercial picked it up that October, and by 2019 it had topped Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart, a list it clung to for 63 weeks in all, and climbed to 13 on the Hot 100. When Billboard marked Alternative Airplay's 35th anniversary in late 2023 by ranking its best performers ever, "Trampoline" came in at number 11.
