"Opposite of Adults" landed in 2010 on The Preview, the EP from American hip-hop duo Chiddy Bang, and it builds its whole house on a sample of MGMT's "Kids". It had already done the rounds on blogs under that borrowed title, roughly a year before Parlophone gave it a proper UK release on February 21, 2010; the US got it on April 20.

After that the song got around. In late 2010 it scored the commercial for the video game Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and turned up in the game itself, it played in an episode of Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory and in the fifth season of Friday Night Lights, it backed the trailer for 30 Minutes or Less, and years later Team North America used it as their goal song at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.
