About this song
- “On Track” is an optimistic track featuring themes of perseverance and reaching one’s goals, which is an overall theme throughout The Slow Rush. The song is a downtempo moment on the tracklist, starting with piano and slowly building with layers of droning synths and drums. In a February 2020 interview with Michéle Cuvelier of Studio Brussel, Kevin Parker described the song as “the emotional core of the album” and also said the song was inspired by the power ballads of artists like Supertramp and Meat Loaf. “A song for the eternal optimist. The pain of holding on to your dreams. Anyone would say it’s impossible from this point. True it will take a miracle, but miracles happen all the time. I’m veering all over the road and occasionally spinning out of control, but strictly speaking I’m still on track.“ - Kevin Parker On July 8, 2020, Kevin Parker posted an acoustic live performance from his studio on YouTube. .
