"Rolling Stone" is a song by New Zealand band Six60, released as the fourth single from their 2017 extended play Six60 (2017).

Background and composition

[edit]

"Rolling Stone" is a break-up song,[1] Band member Ji Fraser felt that the song was "powerful", and liked the song's sentiment of not being angry at a person after the break-up of a relationship.[2] The song was almost cut from the tracklist of the Six60 EP.[2]

Release and promotion

[edit]

"Rolling Stone" was one of six tracks released weekly in the build-up to their Six60 EP,[3] on 3 November 2017.[4]

Critical reception

[edit]

Katie Parker of Radio New Zealand praised the song for its catchiness and Walters' vocal delivery, and felt that this was significantly different to the majority of Six60's music.[1]
