"Who We Are" kicked off Switchfoot's Fading West EP in September 2013 and went to radio as one of two lead singles, alongside "Love Alone Is Worth the Fight", for the band's ninth studio album of the same name. Jon and Tim Foreman wrote it; Jon sings lead, Tim plays bass, Chad Butler adds percussion, and Neal Avron produced it with the Foreman brothers and mixed it.

Tim told Rolling Stone it took him back to the band's first days, crammed into a minivan with guitars and drums, driving around California and naive enough to believe it could all work out: a toast to every kid reckless enough to tune out the crowd. The children's choir on it is made up of the band members' own kids, and the Fading West film catches Jon sitting on the studio floor, conducting them. A three-remix single followed in January.
