New York, NY (Top40 Charts) While Triple One have earned notoriety for their slapstick humor and boorish punchlines, "
Come Over" sees them delve into the pensive, introspective artistry that has evolved rapidly since their first single in 2017. The song combines Triple One's raw storytelling with more abstract references, describing "a situation where you're stuck in a loop of bad habits in a relationship, and not really being aware of that until it's too late. Ultimately, you have to know when to move on; but we often choose what we want, rather than what's actually good for us." What results is an intimate listen that highlights the group's intensely relatable songwriting, reaching a die-hard fanbase that stretches across Australia and well into pockets of Europe.
Sonically, "
Come Over" is a tender statement that still captivates listeners with grandiose flair. Having shared a studio next door to longtime friend Matt
Mason of DMAS, he offers the gleaming, nostalgic guitar riffs that open "Come Over," building gradually into one of Lil Dijon's most anthemic, stadium-sized hooks: "I wish I knew your hands like I knew I used to/Between my fingers, run through your hair/And it's the same mistakes we making in motion/Pretend you know this, I can't pretend." Producer Billy Gunns continues to effortlessly fuse the hip-hop and alternative worlds that Triple One have long dominated, placing Mason's riffs alongside trap-flavoured 808s and furious drums that foreshadow the song's most momentous drops. Rappers Marty Bugatti and Obi Ill Terrors trade poignant verses describing their own fleeting joys and inner turmoil, giving "
Come Over" a distinctly greyscale finish.
"
Come Over" arrives alongside an avant-garde visual accompaniment directed by Marty Bugatti, and is a sardonic take on consumption, hedonism, and fast lifestyles, showcasing the group's trademark humour and style. Marty Bugatti explains further "I thought it would be interesting to take the very emotive/introspective song and juxtapose it against a typical pop/rap music video. The song touches on lost love and the monotonous cycle of living in excess and bad habits, whereas the video glorifies material possession. I wanted it to feel like some hotshot director that knew nothing about 'Triple One' came in and said "This is how we make a pop/rap music video" without paying much attention to the actual song itself or the message behind it."
Triple One shows are known for being explosive, turbulent, and rambunctious. The Come Over Tour is a 10 date run that brings the transcendent Triple One live show to Australia's sweatiest underground venues showcasing a mix of new material and old favourites. Kicking it off in the nation's capital, the four-piece will then hit major cities and regional mainstays like Wollongong, Newcastle, Mornington and Geelong, before ending the tour in the tropics of Noosa. The salt of the earth fandom are spirited and devoted; these will be the group's most special and intimate shows yet before their next project catapults them into the stratosphere.

Their 2019 single "
Butter" also dominated radio airwaves and led to the group's debut UK/European tour and five sold-out shows across Australia. "
Butter" was later certified Gold in Australia.
In 2020, Triple One released their debut album Panic Force which debuted at #1 on the ARIA hip-hop charts, and #8 on the ARIA album charts. It was also crowned the triple j 'Feature Album of the Week'. Onstage is where Triple One truly state their case. Having earned a notorious live reputation through relentless gigging across Australia, 2021 saw the band sell out their Panic Force Tour nationally in the midst of difficult pandemic circumstances. The release of "Blood Rave" and "
Come Over" heralds the exciting next chapter for Triple One.
