Background and composition edit
The song was written in Los Angeles in collaboration with New Zealand songwriter Leroy Clampitt, also known as Big Taste. "Long Gone" was written as a break-up song, and only took minutes to be written.[1][2] The band first performed the track at Western Springs Stadium in Auckland in early 2019, over a year before the song's eventual release.[3]
Release and promotion edit
The song was released as a single at the end of their 2020 summer tour of New Zealand.[4] During the release of the band's third album Six60 in November 2019, the group performed the song live for the radio station ZM.[5]
