Song

"Resolution" peaked at number 5 on the ARIA Singles Chart and was certified 2× Platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association for shipments exceeding 140,000 copies.[2]

Background

Corby wrote the song while he was living in Los Angeles. He said, "I got a little paranoid and I didn't really leave the house for a couple of days. I couldn't understand why I was so afraid of the world at this time so I wrote 'Resolution'. It's an ode to humanity and the way I want to be with other people and spread some love in an un-cheesy way."[3]
