Background[]

Upon release, The Jungle Giants' frontman Sam Hales told Triple J, "It's probably the deepest and furthest I' ve gone into engineering, recording and playing almost everything. It's got pop sensibility but it's a big play-around with sounds. It was such a pleasure to make."[7] Hales added "'Heavy Hearted' has been with me as an me as an instrumental track for so long that I'd forgotten the title a bunch of times and nearly lost it in my sessions. That bass line and beat would always creep its way back into my mind though. It's been a sweet journey watching the track grow and it just feels right to share it."[8]

Reception[]

Alex Gallagher from Music Feeds said "The groovy, primarily electronic track builds around a syncopated piano line and has a big collage of sounds behind it – while maintaining a kind of big pop energy to the whole thing."[8]
