He explained, "It's the first time Australia has had two urban kind of R&B acts doing a duet together ... The song was written for us, but it's definitely our song. It's a beast, that's all I can say". "Galaxy" was written by Richard Vission, Ferras Alqaisi, Brett McLaughlin, Dominique Calvillo, Chico Bennett and Brad Ackley.

Mauboy posted a video on YouTube of herself discussing the song, saying "It is a very special song. I remember listening to it with Stan and we were just like 'oh my gosh this song is crazy' ... you know talking about [a] galaxy, talking about a relationship that ... there's no way that we can ever part and ... its just that ... one who you love type of song". "Galaxy" was released digitally on 28 October 2011. A digital extended play was released on 9 December 2011, which featured the album version of "Galaxy" and remixes of Mauboy's previous singles "Inescapable", "What Happened to Us" and "Running Back".
