After the song was released as a single, the band performed it on The Voice Australia.[43] They performed a stripped back version of the song on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge on 12 June 2018, and have also performed it during their visits at various other radio stations.[44] On 22 June 2018, they performed it on The Today Show's Summer Concert Series,[45] and on 28 November 2018 at the 32nd Annual ARIA Awards.[46]
