Contents

Upon release, Ninajirachi said "'iPod Touch' is about stumbling upon my favourite music online when I was 12 and it cracking my whole world open. None of my friends at school liked electronic music so it felt like a secret or something. I started spending a lot of late nights on the computer trying to soak up everything I could, not realising how much a random discovery and curiosity would end up shaping my life." [1]

The song won second prize in the 2025 Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition; a prize of A$10,000. [2]

"iPod Touch" was voted in at number 27 on the 2025 Triple J Hottest 100. [3]

Reception

Phuture said "'iPod Touch' feels like a love letter to the past, wrapped in glitchy, electro-tinged goodness that pulls you straight back to the early 2010s." [4]

Chris Salce from Acid Stag called the song "a power-packed release filled with intoxicating instrumentation and commanding drive that'll send you into next gear." [5]

Cameron Sunkel from EDM.com said "'iPod Touch' pulses with sprightly energy as bubbling kicks and bright, bouncy synths tangle underneath pitch-warped vocals. Reverb floods the mix and washes each drop in a glowing haze, like an after-school rush of serotonin triggered by your favourite beat dropping on a pair of busted Skullcandy headphones." [6]
