Background and composition

"All This Time" was inspired by songs the band had covered in their early days as a band which had large drops. ^[2] The song was one of the earliest the band had written, ^[3] and became a staple of the band's live set since 2017. ^[1] The band had difficulty recording the song, as the energy from the band's live shows did not translate well to the song. ^{[3] [4]}

Release

The song was released on 12 June 2019. ^[1] In August 2021, New Zealand musician Lee Mvtthews released a remix of the song. ^[5]
