In August 2020, when Tame Impala performed "Is It True" on *The Late Show with Stephen Colbert*, they were promoting their album *The Slow Rush*, which had been released earlier that year, on February 14, 2020. This album marked a significant moment in the band's evolution, showcasing a more mature sound and a blend of psychedelic rock and pop elements. Additionally, *The Slow Rush* was well-received, debuting at number one on the Australian charts and reaching the top ten in various global markets. Interestingly, during this period, Tame Impala's frontman, Kevin Parker, gained further recognition for his work in production and songwriting, having collaborated with various artists. The live performance on *Colbert* is notable not only for showcasing the album's material but also for occurring during the pandemic when many traditional performances were halted, making live televised appearances even more significant.
