Midnight Pool Party Explore Complex Love and Late-Night Temptation on New Single ‘FIDELITY’

Australian indie dance-pop duo Midnight Pool Party return with a captivating new single, FIDELITY — a sleek, emotionally charged track that delves into the messy realities of temptation and emotional turmoil in modern relationships.

Known for their infectious grooves and polished production, the Sydney-based duo take a more mature lyrical turn with FIDELITY, exploring the grey areas of love, infidelity, and difficult choices. Backed by shimmering synths, deep basslines and a crisp, club-ready beat, the song delivers a confessional take on moments where no outcome feels clean, and everyone risks getting hurt.

While FIDELITY tackles heavier themes than previous Midnight Pool Party releases, it maintains the duo’s signature dancefloor energy, making it a cathartic, yet highly danceable, addition to their growing catalogue. The single is a bold reflection of the duo’s creative evolution — both personally and sonically — as they embrace the complexities of adult life and relationships.

​​“This song is about infidelity and temptation. Specifically, about going through the emotions of being tempted by someone else while you are already in a relationship and feeling like you are too deep into a situation that no matter what you do, or who you choose, you’ll lose and everybody gets hurt. Infidelity is not something we condone, but it does happen, and I just wanted to challenge myself to tell a story from a perspective that we haven’t done before in our previous songs. Life and love and the challenges you face along the way with relationships are really complex, and I really wanted to convey that in this song. We are both grown up now, and you have either experienced something like this yourself, or know someone close to you that has. Although lyrically it has more of a serious tone, we still tried to bring our usual vibe to it.”Midnight Pool Party.

With each release, Midnight Pool Party continue to cement their place in Australia’s electronic music scene, blending emotion and escapism in equal measure. FIDELITY is available now, everywhere.
