A faixa “Feels Like We Only Go Backwards” foi lançada como segundo single do álbum *Lonerism* em 1º de outubro de 2012 e apresenta arte da artista australiana Leif Podhajsky.
Em entrevista ao podcast *Broken Record*, Kevin Parker revelou que a inspiração veio da música “Walk in the Park” da Beach House.
O videoclipe, dirigido por Joseph Pelling e Becky Sloan – conhecidos por “Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared” – apresenta animação em argila psicodélica.
O single recebeu o prêmio de *Single of the Year* nos West Australian Music Industry Awards de 2013.
Pitchfork o colocou como a sétima melhor música de 2012 e o #192 entre as 200 melhores da década de 2010.
A canção foi usada em diversas mídias, como a promoção do programa chileno Moov, a trilha sonora do podcast *Second Captains* na Copa do Mundo de 2014, o filme *Divergent* (versão colaborativa com Kendrick Lamar) e a série *The Imperfects* da Netflix.
