"Out of My League" was the lead single from More Than Just a Dream, the second album by Fitz and the Tantrums, released in February 2013, and it's a glossy, hip-shaking pop stomper. Tony Hoffer produced it, and the six writers, from Fitz himself to Noelle Scaggs, built it around a big sing-along chorus; the album even borrowed its title from the song's words.
It took its time. The song finally hit number one on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart after 33 weeks, the slowest climb to the top that chart had ever seen, and gave the band their first number one there. Years later it found fresh ears in the second season of Netflix's Heartstopper.
