"Who Needs You" was the Orwells' first shot from Disgraceland: the Chicago indie rock band put it out as a single on Atlantic in 2013, the year before the album it was meant to announce, their second. It took its time catching on. The song only started charting in 2014, and when it did it was the first time the Orwells had charted at all, climbing to number 23 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart and sticking around for 11 weeks. It also showed up on the Hot Rock Songs, Rock Airplay and Rock Digital Songs charts, peaking at 46, 48 and 49.
