Background and release

On 23 November 2016, Crowded House were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame after 30 years in the industry. New Zealand stars Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement presented the prestigious award to which they graciously accepted. After the band gave their speech, Missy Higgins, Bernard Fanning and Crowded House launched into the medley. [3]

The medley was well received with Music Feeds saying "A dream team of Aussie all-stars united to toast icons Crowded House with a musical tribute following their ARIA Hall of Fame induction. After a spine-tingling rendition of iconic gem "Fall at Your Feet" from Missy Higgins bleeding into a tear-jerking performance of "Better Be Home Soon" by Bernard Fanning, Crowded House themselves brought it all home with a show-stopping performance of their 1993 hit "Distant Sun". (There was) not a dry eye in the house." [4]

The single was released the following day on iTunes.
