Tones and I followed "Dance Monkey" with "Never Seen the Rain", another cut from her 2019 debut EP The Kids Are Coming and its third single at home in Australia. She wrote it alone, and Konstantin Kersting produced, recorded and mixed it. By her own account, it's aimed at people stuck running the same loop day after day, so scared of failing that they never take a swing at all.
It reached the rest of the world in January 2020 and kept piling up the paperwork: gold in New Zealand, then 5x platinum from ARIA by the end of that August. At the APRA Music Awards of 2021 it took home both Most Performed Australian Work and Most Performed Pop Work.
