"Long Way Down" was the first taste of Robert DeLong's second album, In the Cards, arriving on an EP of the same name in November 2014, a good while before the album itself landed in 2015. It's a bright, bouncing electro-pop rush with a restless beat underneath, and it climbed to number 3 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart.
DeLong co-produced it with Andrew Goldstein and Emanuel Kiriakou, and wrote it with them plus E. Kidd Bogart and Cameron Forbes, for Glassnote. The EP carried three more tracks, Britain got a promo CD single, and fans at his shows could pick up a translucent yellow twelve-inch pressing.
