Elle King first put "Under the Influence" out through RCA as a promotional download in December 2014, ahead of her debut album, Love Stuff (2015), and a year later, following "Ex's & Oh's", it went to Triple A radio as the record's second official single. King co-wrote it for that debut.
It picked up an unlikely side gig along the way: in March 2015 TCM used it as a promotional song, laid over clips of old movies. By January 2016 it had given her a second top-three hit on the Adult Alternative Songs chart, and the music video finally arrived that April.
