Jack Antonoff wrote "Like a River Runs" with John Hill for Strange Desire, the 2014 album by indie pop act Bleachers, and it came out that year on a 7-inch before going to alternative and Triple A radio in April 2015. Antonoff sings lead and plays guitar, bass, drums and keyboards, Hill and Vince Clarke add more keyboards and co-produced with him, and Andrew Dost and Mae Whitman sing backup. Michael Brauer and Stuart White mixed it.

In 2015 it also gave its name to an EP: two alternate versions by the band, a cover by Sia, and a fifteen-minute spoken-word piece called "Dreams Aren't Random".
