"Got on My Skateboard" was the second and last single from Holiday Food, the 2017 EP from Australian trio Skegss, and it got its first spin on Triple J's Good Nights ahead of release. Toby Cregan, Jon Lani and Ben Reed wrote it together.
It's a breezy, sun-bleached thing with a wistful streak. Brag Media's Brandon John heard a melancholic look at the regret of passing up chances and the payoff of the ones you take, while Life Without Andy noted the nostalgic strings up top before the airy vocals drift in. The video has comedy performer Aaron Gocs skating through Melbourne's suburbs, and the song has had staying power: in 2025 it went platinum in Australia.
