"'Steer'" is the first single from Missy Higgins' second album, 'On a Clear Night'. The song was released in Australia on 14 April 2007 and became the most-added track that same week. Higgins stated that the song was "about steers" and that she wrote it after overlooking the southern celestial hemisphere from a bay in Western Australia.Time Off Magazine [http://www.timeoff.com.au/index1.php?area=Interviews&pg=38 Matt Connors' interview with Missy Higgins] (2006) The song has instrument backings of acoustic guitar and drums.
The single reached the number-one spot on the Australian Singles Chart in the first week of its release, dethroning Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" for a single week. It became Higgins' second number-one single, after 2004's "Scar", from her first album 'The Sound of White'.[http://www.australian-charts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Missy+Higgins&titel=Scar&cat=s Australian-charts.com] At the end of 2007, the song appeared at number 60 on the Australian year-end chart, becoming the second lowest-selling number-one hit of the year (that didn't reach number one in 2006), behind "2 Hearts" by Kylie Minogue. Despite this, it still received a Gold certification from ARIA for sales exceeding 35,000 copies.
In March 2007, Higgins gave fans the exclusive opportunity to pre-order a personally signed copy of her single "Steer" via SMS.[http://www.theharbouragency.com/artist-profile/missy-higgins The Harbour Agency]. Retrieved 24 May 2007.
