Jimmy Eat World opened the campaign for their ninth album, Integrity Blues, with "Sure and Certain" in August 2016. The band wrote it and co-produced it with Justin Meldal-Johnsen, who also plays keyboards on it, while Courtney Marie Andrews and Robin Vining add their voices and Ken Andrews mixed the lot.
It did what a lead single is supposed to do: it reached number 10 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart, the band's best showing there since "My Best Theory" went to number two in 2010. The flip side, "My Enemy", was a protest song aimed at Donald Trump, recorded for Dave Eggers' 30 Days, 30 Songs project.
