"It's About Time" kicked off the Mind Over Matter era for Young the Giant, arriving as the lead single from their second studio album in October 2013, with a video out the same day. The band put it out on Fueled by Ramen, with Justin Meldal-Johnsen producing, Carlos de la Garza engineering and Rich Costey handling the mix.
The writing credit is split five ways, and drummer François Comtois told Rolling Stone it was the most aggressive thing on the record, born of the band realizing they could chase whatever they wanted and be upfront about it.
