About this song
- "Starting Line" is the first single on (lead singer of the Australian pop rock band 5 Seconds of Summer) Luke Hemmings' first solo album. In late June 2021, he posted a series of pictures and a video on various social media platforms, along with a caption of a website and a time, leading fans to believe that he was releasing a single the next day. The single, Starting Line, was released, and Luke also announced his first solo album, "When Facing The Things We All Turn Away From", released on August 13, 2021. "I’m in constant pursuit of bettering myself in that department. A lot of the songs are about where I’m at today, but some of them are written from the perspective of a 17- year-old kid in the thick of the industry. You’re reflecting on your youth and all of the madness and craziness. It’s like you’re forgetting so many pieces of your life-not from vices or anything but from the sheer volume." —via Spotify "The lyric and sonic of “Starting Line” are a reflection on 10 years of your life passing you by in what felt like forever, but also in the blink of an eye. It’s about forgetting pieces of your life—not from vices, but from sheer volume and speed. I’ve had to figure out how to fill all the gaps for myself in a positive way. I love the way this song builds and the emotion it evokes. It is a perfect first step to the rest of the album." —via Apple Music .
