"Clumsy Love" was the first taste of Better in Blak, the debut album from Australian singer-songwriter Thelma Plum, arriving on 13 July 2018, the year before the record itself. Plum wrote it with Alexander Burnett and Dreamtrak, and she was frank about where it came from: 2017 had been a rotten year for her, a stretch when she didn't always feel people were fully behind her, and the song is her looking back on it. She said she liked the song a lot more than the memories.
Vice's Shaad D'Souza heard the warmth in her voice set against handclaps and tambourine, and reckoned the songwriting cut deep for all the airy production. It went platinum in Australia in 2020.
