On January 4, 2016, the band announced they had signed to American independent record label Hopeless Records. They coincided this news with new single and music video "We'll Be Okay". Following this the band announced an Australian headline tour set to take place in April, with support from Harbours.

After the UK tour the band voyaged across to the US to appear on the entirety of the Vans Warped Tour.
Upon returning to Australia the band were on the road almost immediately again, supporting Motion City Soundtrack & 5 Seconds of Summer before heading out on their own album tour in October to celebrate the album that charted at #22 on the ARIA Charts.
In November 2017 Luke Rockets was removed from the band due to sexual misconduct with an underage fan.
In September 2022 the band announced on social media that they were to break up after their current tour at the time and a small run of shows in Australia. They played their final show on November 27 in Brisbane Australia.

With Confidence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God calling me
And she won't
Stop calling up
Stop calling me
Stop calling me
Can't you see I'm suffering
I'm pouring out my blood
I'm spilling out my guts
Oh, won't you take this offering
I've got my god calling up
God calling me
And she won't
Stop calling up
Stop calling me
Stop calling me
I just need your company
I just need you here with me
So won't you take me home
And reach into my chest
So I can see what's killing me
I've got my god calling up
God calling me
And she won't
Stop calling up
Stop calling me
Can't you see I'm suffering
Can't you see I'm suffering
Can't you see you're smothering me
I've got my god calling up
God calling me
Stop calling me
Stop calling me
Stop calling me
I've got my god calling up
God calling me
And she won't
Stop calling up
Stop calling me
Can't you see I'm suffering (can't you see I'm suffering)
Can't you see you're smothering me
I've got my god calling up
God calling me
Stop calling me
The song "Cult" by With Confidence depicts a troubled relationship with religion and the pressure of trying to fit in with a particular group or community. The repeated phrase "God calling me" represents the constant tug of war between the singer's desire for guidance and direction, and the overwhelming sense of suffocation and restriction that comes with being a part of a religious group.
The line "Can't you see I'm suffering, can't you see you're smothering me" symbolizes the inner turmoil that comes with feeling trapped in a cult-like environment. The singer is begging for the attention to stop and for someone to take into consideration what their personal beliefs and struggles are. The lines "So won't you take me home, And reach into my chest, So I can see what's killing me" signify the singer's desperation for intimacy and personal understanding.
Overall, "Cult" is a powerful portrayal of the struggles that may come with finding one's identity and beliefs amid the pressure of religious groups or communities.

Santi Tave - Parodias
Este es el comentario en español que buscabas. La canción habla de cómo una persona es castigada por sus propios pensamientos negativos cuando está sola. Dice "Tengo a mi dios llamando", haciendo referencia a que su cabeza le está hablando. "Y ella no lo hace", haciendo referencia a que la chica que quiere no está con él. Cuando dice "Deja de llamarme" se refiere a que quiere que sus pensamientos dejen de atormentarlo. Es una gran canción!!
