“Gossip” is Tame Impala’s Sixth single from Currents. It was recorded in March, 2012 but later published with the rest of the album tracks in Jul 17, 2015.

Currents was preceded by the release of the singles “Let It Happen”, “Cause I’m a Man”, “Disciples” and “Eventually”. Like its predecessors, the album received critical acclaim, and it became the group’s best charting release. At the 2015 ARIA Music Awards, Currents was awarded Best Rock Album and Album of the Year, while at the Annual Grammy Awards, it was nominated for Best Alternative Music Album. Recording the album soon became an obsession to Parker, as he worked “all day, every day,” growing increasingly isolated. Parker said:

At some point, life outside the studio fades into the distance. That’s how I know that I’m into it.

He reasoned that any alternate approach would imply that the music was not powerful enough.
