Blue told Triple J "I had this vision of myself feeling free from the chains of heartbreak and needing someone, anyone to feel complete and of purpose. The most incredible thing about this song is that it's exactly how I feel right now in my life. So free and happy within my own skin, focused and independent." adding "It's okay to be without someone's 'Regular Touch'. I've developed a sense of self love rather than constantly needing attention and affection, 'loving' for happiness."[1]

A Vice Remix was released on 10 November 2017.

The single peaked at No. 97 on the ARIA singles chart, and was listed at No. 15 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2017. By December 2018 it had appeared on the ARIA Hitseekers Singles top 20 for 44 weeks.[2]

"Regular Touch" was certified platinum in Australia in 2019 and double platinum in January 2020.

Reception


Project U said "It sounds sorta like an Astrid S moment" adding it has a "big, electronic singalong chorus and some divine intricacies in every verse".[3]

Al Newstead from Australian Broadcasting Corporation described the song as a "Flume-y electronic twists and synth pads frame [while] her platinum pipes in a song about achieving a sense of contentment in the wake of a rough romance."[4]

In a review of Perennial, Jessica Dale from The Music AU said "Drawing on some Avicii-type vibes, it’s easy to hear that this will go on to be one of the biggest Vera Blue hits to date."[5]
