"It Might Be Time" arrived on October 28, 2019, the second single from The Slow Rush, Tame Impala's fourth album, and Kevin Parker did the lot himself: he wrote it, produced it, mixed it, sang it and played every instrument. Drums, piano and guitar lead the charge, thudding breaks and a lurching piano hook, and Pitchfork pegged it as psychedelic rock and art pop shot through with electronics.
Under all that swagger it's a song about time slipping away and the creeping feeling of getting older. It landed at number 43 in Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2019, made the shortlist for Song of the Year at the 2021 APRA Music Awards and went gold in Australia.
