The band also released a new music video for “Cool Kids” on September 11, 2014, directed by Mark Pellington. After the original video passed one million views, Echosmith released an acoustic version of the song. It was released on June 21, 2013, on Echosmith’s official YouTube channel. The song’s official music video was filmed in Los Angeles, California and directed by Gus Black. The tempo of the song is 129 beats per minute. “Cool Kids” is written in the key of F minor, and follows a chord progression of Fm–D♭–A♭–E♭ (i–VI–III–VII). In an interview, guitarist Jamie Sierota discussed the song’s background, saying: “This cry to be like the cool kids… it’s something that everyone kind of goes through whether you want to act like it or not… There’s always somebody out there that you kind of wish, ‘If only I could do this, or do that.’ I think that’s why it connects with people so well. The song describes a boy and a girl who both desire to be noticed. The song subsequently became a sleeper hit, peaking at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and receiving airplay on US modern rock, hot adult contemporary, and contemporary hit radio stations.
“Cool Kids” was originally released on May 31, 2013, as the iTunes Store Single of the Week and officially impacted United States radio the following year. It was produced by Mike Elizondo, with additional production on the radio edit by Rob Cavallo. The song was written by Echosmith, Jeffery David, and Jesiah Dzwonek. “Cool Kids” is the debut single song by American indie pop band Echosmith from their 2013 debut studio album, Talking Dreams.
