X Ambassadors put out "Ahead of Myself" on July 21, 2017, through KIDinaKORNER and Interscope, and frontman Sam Harris pitched it as a bridge between VHS, their last record, and the new sound they were chasing: something with an alternative feel, a streak of soul and lyrics that give a lot away. The band wrote it with Scott Harris.
Neon Music heard glittering synth-rock in it, starting on tender acoustic guitar and soft vocals before the drums start pulsing and the chorus opens up. Harris told Billboard the words came out of his own mistakes: jumping into relationships before he was ready to commit, and trusting people before they had earned it.
