Landing (song)

"Landing" is a song that appears on Australian rapper X-Treme's debut studio album Come On Down Under, featuring vocals from Kuboian rapper Kool Teazer.

Although it was never released as a single, "Landing" received airplay on several Australian and European radio stations starting in June 2004, in order to help promote the album it appeared on. It was also released as a promotional single in the United Kingdom on 6th December that year. Due to its strong airplay and promotion that helped it receive attention, it was able to appear on some music charts throughout Europe. Notably, it was able to peak at number 23 on the Karuboia charts.

Background
"Landing" is one of the several songs on Come On Down Under where X-Treme sings, particularly the chorus. He also raps the first verse and performs a bridge near the end of the song, whilst Kool Teazer raps the second verse.

Initially, "Landing" was going to be the fourth and final single released off of Come On Down Under, with an intended release for September 2004. However, since the song had already received a significant amount of attention from the media, X-Treme felt releasing at as a single would be "pointless". Because of this, "Eye on the Prize" ended up being the fourth single instead.

Composition
"Landing" is in the key of C major, with a tempo of 116 beats per minute.

Music video
The song's music video features X-Treme in various empty streets around Syndey, Australia. During Kool Teazer's verse, Kool Teazer can be seen in a dark empty living room. According to Kool Teazer, the video had to be shot around one o'clock in the morning in order for the video to "make sense".
