"All We Ever Knew" opened the door to Signs of Light, the Head and the Heart's third album, going out on Warner Bros. in 2016 as its lead single. The whole band wrote it, Josiah Johnson, Jonathan Russell, Charity Thielen, Tyler Williams and Chris Zasche, with Jay Joyce producing and David Sardy mixing, and the folk band's harmonies come wrapped in a bigger, brighter, stomping pop-rock sheen. It paid off: the song spent eight weeks at the top of Billboard's Adult Alternative Songs chart and gave them their first appearance on the Alternative Songs chart.
