"Sweater Weather" first surfaced on the Neighbourhood's 2012 EP I'm Sorry..., then went on to lead off their debut album, I Love You, the following year. Band members Jesse Rutherford, Zach Abels and Jeremy Freedman wrote it, and Justyn Pilbrow produced. It's a hazy, chilly slow-burner: a loping beat, guitars that shimmer instead of crunch, and a vocal pitched somewhere between a croon and a murmur. It sounds like a song made for a dim room with the heat turned off, and it made brooding feel cozy.

Columbia had a long runner on its hands. By June 2013 it had reached number one on Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart, and it held the top spot for 11 weeks, though not all of them in a row.
