Grant first played “Castaway” at a Monstercat event in Toronto, promoting the release of Monstercat Uncaged Vol. 2. Recordings of that preview were uploaded online, making it a highly anticipated release.
The song’s release was confirmed when Rocket League x Monstercat Vol. 5 went up for pre-order....
[Verse 1: Juneau]
Got wandering eyes
That I seem to follow
Can only stay still for some time
I've never aligned
With this city's pulse so
That makes it easier to leave behind
[Chorus: Juneau]
I just wanna get to know
Brighter lights in Tokyo
Somehow hear it whisperin'
I could be the one you're missing
I just wanna get to know
Brighter lights in Tokyo
Somehow hear it whisperin'
I could be the one you're missing
[Drop]
[Verse 2: Juneau]

Somewhere in a different life
[Chorus: Juneau]
I just wanna get to know
Brighter lights in Tokyo
Somehow hear it whisperin'
I could be the one you're missing
I just wanna get to know
Brighter lights in Tokyo
Somehow hear it whisperin'
I could be the one you're missing
[Drop]
