Streetlights have today released their new single titled ‘What’s Your Name Again?’. Fun for the end of summer, whenever summer ended. This is one of those tracks that forcefully move your feet and give you that tiny personal world of splendor and awe in the middle of a shitty day.

Harmony and heart combine spectacularly with this track from a set of fresh young artists that take their songwriting to the next level. Somewhat an anthem, if anthems were meant to be cool, and an all-inclusive track that makes the audience include itself in the party, ‘What’s Your Name Again?’ will definitely make some of you wonder, ‘what’s that band again?’ because you got too into the track and feverously try to find that song again. Yes, it’s one of those songs.

About Streetlights

Boorloo/Perth indie-rockers Streetlights return with ‘What’s Your Name Again?’, a wide-eyed tale of falling headfirst for a stranger on the morning commute. Out Friday, October 10, the single captures the rush of blind infatuation, that split-second spark from locking eyes with someone across the bus, and the ache of watching them vanish before you ever learn their name.

For the uninitiated, Streetlights emerged in 2021 and have built steady momentum since, releasing a string of singles and their debut EP ‘Bad Actors’ (2024), and still kept the pace going. Along the way, they’ve lit up stages in support of favorites like DICE, Surf Trash, The Stamps, and Death by Denim, while drawing support from triple j, Spotify, Happy Mag, and more.

With a productive year under their belt, playing multiple sold-out shows as well as releasing an incredibly energetic cover of the 80s Tears for Fears classic ‘Everybody Wants to Rule the World.’ It’s exciting to see the band releasing new music to follow it up.

With wiry guitars, kaleidoscopic synths, and a restless, smitten energy, Streetlights shape ‘What’s Your Name Again?’ into a bittersweet indie rock anthem. Layered harmonies melt into smooth, buttery vocals, swelling into a chant-along chorus that’s impossible to shake.

‘What’s Your Name Again?’ bottles the rush of a fleeting connection, the kind that sparks on a crowded bus or train only to vanish just as quickly. It tells the story of locking eyes with a stranger, feeling that instant pull of love at first sight, and then watching them disappear at the next stop.

Speaking on the track, front man John Toplis says, “You’re catching the bus and someone hops on and goes to sit directly across from you. You lock eyes and BAM! – you’ve fallen in love with a stranger, only for them to get off at the next stop”

‘What’s Your Name Again?’ is a reminder of how quickly love can spark and as swiftly slip away, a fleeting moment set to irresistible indie rock. Streetlights will celebrate its release with a single launch at Lyrics Underground, Maylands (Perth) on October 25, inviting fans to fall headlong into the rush with them, chorus and all.
