The band consisted of Taylor Jardine (vocals), Jordan Eckes (guitar/vocals), Mike Ferri (bass guitar), Rob Chianelli (drums), and Cameron Hurley (guitar). They released their debut EP, Guaranteed To Disagree, on June 8, 2010 and followed it up with their first full-length album, Best Intentions in 2011.

In April 2009, We Are the In Crowd's Myspace page was hacked. The hacker deleted all of their friends and music. The music site Absolutepunk.net posted a news article regarding the hacking, and the news post attracted the attention of someone at Hopeless Records who contacted the band shortly after. On November 10, 2009, the group announced their signing with Hopeless Records as "The In Crowd" and released their first single "For the Win" on iTunes. The band changed their name to "We Are the In Crowd" due to trademark issues with a reggae band from the seventies who were also called "The In Crowd"

In February 2009, We Are the In Crowd recorded their debut Hopeless Records EP with producers Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount (All Time Low, Mayday Parade, Jimmy Eat World, Cartel). The EP, titled Guaranteed To Disagree, was released on June 8, 2010.

The music video for "Both Sides of the Story" was officially released on October 15, 2010. The music video for "Never Be What You Want" was released on April 20, 2011. The band performed on the Vans Warped Tour for Summer 2010.

The band entered the studio in early May 2011 to begin recording their full length debut. On August 3, 2011 it was announced the album would be titled Best Intentions and that it would be released on October 4. It debuted on the U.S. Billboard 200 at No. 122.

The Worst Thing About Me
We Are the In Crowd Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Does this mean that it's over and done with?
I was happy for so long.
Let's forget that I always forget
And I'd be happy to move on.
But, this time I'm not over it.

I guess you were always the worst thing about me.
Now I can see that you're not the real thing.

You keep me running back, running back.
This time it's not ending well.
And if you want me now, I'll make your life a living hell.

I got away from everything that made me think of you.
And now I'm back again to prove you wrong.
Because you were right about one thing.
I'd be coming back again, but you kept on running away.
But, this time I'm not over it.
(I'm not over it.)
No, this time I'm not over it.

I guess you were always the worst thing about me.
Now I can see that you're not the real thing.
You keep me running back, running back.
This time it's not ending well.
And if you want me now, I'll make your life a living hell.

I swear we could've been a sure thing.
I'm sorry that I wasn't the one.
I hate you for leaving, but you love to walk away.
Does this mean that it's over and done with?
I was happy, but I was wrong.

I guess you were always the worst thing about me.
Now I can see that you're not the real thing.
You keep me running back, running back.
This time it's not ending well.

I guess you were always the worst thing about me.
Now I can see that you're not the real thing.
You keep me running back, running back.

This time it's not ending well.
And if you want me now, I'll make your life a living hell.
