We the Kings became darlings of the mid-'00s emo movement thanks to their unbridled optimism, infusing fizzy power-pop tracks like “Check Yes, Juliet” with an eager, hopelessly romantic charm. The reggae-inflected "Say You Like Me" details a suitor pining over a distant crush, while the retro-disco throwdown "Love Again" tells of a combustible (but irresistible) relationship. On subsequent records, the band's idealism would evolve into a more mature pop-punk approach, making tender acoustic ballads like "Jenny's Song" and earnest '80s-rock anthems like "Just Keep Breathing" even more satisfying.
