Kevin Parker first revealed the inclusion of “Is It True” on The Slow Rush’s tracklist during his BBC 1 Radio interview with Annie Mac on December 18, 2019. He also revealed that he purposely only spent eight hours writing the track.
According to the Spotify Song Storyline series, Parker said that...
[Verse 1]
We were hangin' in the morning
Feelin' all different kinds of things
We were talkin' about everything
From the past to the happenin'
We started talkin' 'bout devotion
The kind that goes on eternally
And I tell her I'm in love with her
But how can I know that I'll always be?
[Chorus]
She just said, "Is it true? Is it true? Tell me now"
That's a promise I can't make and I won't validate
Was I in some kind of mood? I don't know, I don't care

See how we go
Until we know what the future holds
Ah, we'll see
We'll see
We'll see, we'll see, we'll see

Tame Impala released Is It True on Fri Feb 14 2020.
Young love is uncertain. Let’s not talk about the future. We don’t know what it holds. I hope it’s forever but how do I know? When all is said and done, all you can say is “we’ll see.”
I’m a romantic, so I do say things like [‘forever’]… I am singing from a different persona, but at the same time, I like thinking about that sort of thing. The song’s about living in the present, or wanting to be in the present, and knowing that no one can be certain about the future. But, you know,...
