My debut single "Pointless Relationship" is about a girl's view of where the relationship is going with her partner and it sounds like a negative term. But the song is more of an empowering song from a woman's perspective! It's the life of them together and it's just never going to go where it should go, and so she's saying to him this is a pointless relationship.
– Tammin, on the song during an interview.
"Pointless Relationship" debuted at number seven on the Australian Singles Chart and peaked at number five the following week, spending a total of 15 weeks in the top 50. [3] It was certified platinum for shipping over 70,000 units in Australia. [4]
