The Naked and Famous opened the In Rolling Waves campaign with "Hearts Like Ours", the first taste of the New Zealand indie-electronic outfit's second album and their sixth single all told. It made its entrance on BBC Radio 1 in July 2013, when Zane Lowe crowned it his "Hottest Record in the World Today". Thomas Powers, Aaron Short and Alisa Xayalith wrote it, Powers produced with Short as co-producer, Billy Bush engineered, and the mix went to John Catlin and Alan Moulder.
They hadn't traded away what worked before: the Denver Post's Ricardo Baca heard the same electronic-pop sleight of hand that made "Young Blood" such a blast. Campbell Hooper of Special Problems directed the video, shooting it in Los Angeles and New Zealand, and it hit YouTube six days after the radio premiere.
