"Loser" was the second single from Deadbeat, the fifth studio album from Tame Impala, the project of Australian multi-instrumentalist Kevin Parker, and its rollout played out like a little mystery. One clue surfaced when fans noticed that the writer and producer credit on July's "End of Summer", the single that marked the project's arrival on Columbia, read not Kevin Parker but "loser" on Spotify and Tidal. Late that August, posters and social clips bearing the word and a cryptic pair of numbers started turning up in several cities, and the music press duly took the bait.
Parker wrote the words and music himself, with Loren Humphrey recording it and adding production. At the 2026 APRA Music Awards it was nominated for Song of the Year.
