"Bridges" is a song by New Zealand band Broods, from their debut self-titled extended play. It was released as the band's first single by Dryden Street Records, Island Records Australia and Universal Music Australia on 3 January 2014. It is also included on their debut studio album, Evergreen (2014).
"Bridges" was written by Broods members Caleb and Georgia Nott and Joel Little. Georgia Nott conceived the song and recorded a demo, which was embellished by Little. "Bridges" is an indie pop and synthpop song, and contains piano and synth instrumentation. It is set in common time, and is written mostly in the key of E minor, but briefly switches to G major.
"Bridges" was posted on Soundcloud in October 2013, and was released for sale as a music download single by Dryden Street, Island Records Australia, and Universal Music Australia in Australia and New Zealand on 3 January 2014. Polydor Records released the download single in Canada on 14 January 2014; the same day Polydor released "Bridges" as a promotional single—the iTunes Store's free "Single of the Week"—in the United States. Capitol Records sent the song to US adult album alternative radio on 3 March 2014, and US modern rock radio the following day.
