"In a Drawer" was one of three singles Band of Horses sent out ahead of Why Are You OK, their fifth album, which Interscope released in June 2016. Ben Bridwell wrote it with Jason Lytle of Grandaddy, who produced it alongside the band, and Dave Fridmann handled the mix. The guest list is the hook: J Mascis gets a featured credit, and Sera Cahoone and Jenn Champion add their voices too.
It sits on the last Band of Horses record with guitarist Tyler Ramsey and bassist Bill Reynolds, both of whom left the following year.
