The story behind the song

The Format, an American indie rock band, was formed by vocalist Nate Ruess and multi-instrumentalist Sam Means, who had been friends since grade school. Their music blends indie, alternative, punk, and folk with elements of 1960s and 1970s pop. The band's name itself is a playful jab at the music industry's tendency to follow a "format" for hit songs. This song, appearing on a live release, showcases their sound.
