Favourite Kid Share Exclusive First Listen of New Single ‘Setback’ Ahead of Debut Album ‘Two Cent Journal’

Brisbane indie-pop trio Favourite Kid are keeping the sunshine coming with their brand-new single ‘Setback’, premiering exclusively via AAA Backstage ahead of its official release tomorrow. Taken from their forthcoming debut album ‘Two Cent Journal’ (out Friday, November 21), the track captures the band’s signature mix of heart, humour, and hard-won optimism.

Built on a bed of booming acoustic guitar, hand percussion, and anthemic harmonies, ‘Setback’ channels Favourite Kid’s signature blend of country-pop energy and heartfelt storytelling. It’s a track about resilience, the kind that turns life’s hurdles into moments of growth. Lead vocalist Ethan Roberts delivers the song’s message with sincerity, reminding listeners that every fall can spark a new beginning.

“Setback is all about the trials and challenges we come up against when we’re working to reach our goals. It’s a reminder that every journey brings obstacles that might slow you down or knock you off track, but those moments are all part of the ride. You won’t get anywhere if you don’t get back on.”

With their debut album ‘Two Cent Journal’ on the horizon, Favourite Kid are stepping confidently into their next chapter. Honest, uplifting, and full of heart, ‘Setback’ cements their place as one of Queensland’s brightest emerging acts, a reminder that every stumble can lead to something stronger.

‘Setback’ is officially out everywhere tomorrow, but you can listen right here, exclusively today!
