With Confidence have cited influences from bands The Dangerous Summer, Kings Of Leon, Blink-182, The Wonder Years, The Strokes, The Dead Love and La Dispute on their Facebook. Along with Blink-182, All Time Low, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and The Dangerous Summer mentioned in their interview with Beers with the Band on YouTube. Their sophomore EP 'Distance' was released on January 13, 2015. It was recorded at Electric Sun Studios with Stevie Knight and Dave Petrovic (Tonight Alive, Hands Like Houses, Northlane) at the helm.
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. On April 5 they released their new single "Keeper" along with the announcement that their debut album "Better Weather" was going to be released on June 17 worldwide. Following their Australian headline tour, the band travelled to Japan to tour with The Wonder Years, ROAM & The Cautioners. Directly after the Japanese tour, With Confidence travelled to the UK to support As It Is alongside American band Jule Vera. 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 ↴
It really made me feel like shit
You say there's reasons for believing this is worth the risk
You keep complaining that I'm never checking up on you
Like squares to circles I am certain we can't make it through
I want to breathe
You want to bleed
And I wish I could be everything you're needing
I wish I could find all the things you're seeking
I wish I could say what you need to hear but
I'll never be, never see, everything you're needing
Your future's brighter than the light you cast on all you do
Have you thought of me the same way that I've thought of you?
I want to say that I will stay and not be all alone
I'm scared I'll muddy all your colours if you get too close
I want to breathe
You want to bleed
I want to love you
And I wish I could be everything you're needing
I wish I could find all the things you're seeking
I wish I could say what you need to hear but
I'll never be, never see, everything you're needing
Everything you're needing
Is this what you needed?
What you needed?
Is this what you needed?
And I wish I could be everything you're needing
I wish I could find all the things you're seeking
I wish I could say what you need to hear but
I'll never be, never see, everything you're needing
I wish I could be everything you're needing
I wish I could find all the things you're seeking
I wish I could say what you need to hear but
I'll never be, never see, everything you're needing
Everything you're needing
Is this what you needed?
The lyrics to "Jaded" by With Confidence delve into themes of longing, self-doubt, and the complexities of a relationship that seems to lack communication and understanding. The song starts with the singer expressing regret over missing a call from their partner, which leads to feelings of inadequacy and frustration. It highlights a disconnect in the relationship, with the partner feeling neglected and voicing their concerns while the singer struggles to bridge the gap.
The chorus reveals a stark contrast in desires between the two individuals. The singer expresses a desire to breathe and love their partner, while the partner seems to seek a more intense and possibly self-destructive form of connection, wanting to bleed. This juxtaposition emphasizes the inability to fully meet each other's needs and the internal conflict within the relationship.
The singer acknowledges their limitations and insecurities, fearing that they may not be able to live up to their partner's expectations. There is a sense of self-awareness about their potential to bring negativity or complications into their partner's life if they become too close, leading to a fear of causing harm rather than being a source of support.
The repeated refrain of wishing to be everything the partner needs, to find what they're seeking, and to say the right words reflects a deep longing to bridge the emotional distance and misunderstandings that exist between them. The final lines questioning if the singer can truly meet their partner's needs and if the current state of the relationship is what was desired further underline the uncertainty and desperation for connection present throughout the song. Overall, "Jaded" captures the raw emotions and internal struggles within a relationship where both parties are yearning for something they may never fully attain.
