Shark told Music Feeds “ " Weekends " is an extremely personal song ” adding “ I actually wrote the guitar part about five years ago which sounds crazy , but I could n’t think of any lyrics good enough to match the guitar so I let it go for so many years , until now ! ” Shark told Sydney Morning Herald “ When I was younger a lot of my time was spent hanging around waiting for people to finish work . They are the best years of your life when you do n't have any responsibilities and you just have this shitty part-time job you suck at and you are just waiting until you get to hang out with someone special on the weekend . " adding " One of my favourite lines I have ever written is " I call your house phone " . It 's so outdated now but that was a big deal when you called someone 's house phone and you got a little taste of what their home life was like and you spoke to their mum or brother and you were like ' I feel like I am a little bit in now ' . ” At the APRA Music Awards of 2018 , the song was nominated for Song of the Year
