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.

Long Night
With Confidence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through everything we are, everything we've been.
I promise I'll be good if you stay with me.
But everything we are it just went away but this light of this song and it's sour taste.
Oh where can I recall, I can explain.
But I remember the nights when you'd lie with me where we talk and your touch and we'd fall asleep. I wake up in your arms and feel at ease.
It's gonna be a long night.
I still have your shirt in my dresserdrawer.
The with the stripes that you liked and stored. Oh everything has changed, I wanted more.
Oh how it's raining. Oh how the water falls. Into the safe things we try to set in stone.
I can't replace you.
I can't escape you, no.
But I remember the nights when you'd lie with me where we talk and your touch and we'd fall asleep. I wake up in your arms and feel at ease.
But now it's just me and I lie awake and I toss and I turn and I see your face. When I wake from a dream it won't go away.
Oh it's gonna be a long night.
But I remember the nights when you'd lie with me where we talk and we'd touch and we'd fall asleep. I wake up in your arms and feel at ease.
But now it's just me and I lie awake and I toss and I turn and I see your face. When I wake from a dream it won't go away.
Oh it's gonna be a long night.
In the opening lines of "Long Night" by With Confidence, the singer is making a plea to their former lover to look at them and remain with them. Despite the fact that everything between them has changed, the singer promises to be good if their lover will stay. The lyrics acknowledge the tension between the two parties in the relationship, and the drastic changes that have occurred. The singer can't remember how things fell apart but reflects on the comfort they used to feel with their lover in their arms. Despite the fact that everything is different now, the singer is still holding onto a piece of their previous relationship, as evidenced by the mention of the lover's shirt in their dresser drawer. In the end, the singer acknowledges that they can't replace or escape their former lover, and that they are in for a long night of grappling with these emotions.
The theme of the song centers on the loss of a relationship and the pain and longing that comes after it ends. With Confidence is able to capture the feeling of heartache and the struggle to let go of a past relationship. The lyrics are reminiscent of the many nights spent in bed with someone who we thought loved us and were our everything. The song is a reflection of the emotional distress and mental stress people go through after breaking up with someone they love. This song is relatable because it speaks to the universal human experience of heartbreak and longing for someone who is no longer there.

Won't you turn around and please look at me
For everything we are, everything we've been
I promise I'll be good if you stay with me
But everything we are, it just went away
With the slide of a tongue and a sour taste
I cannot recall, I can explain
But I remember the nights when you'd lie with me
Where we'd talk and we'd touch and we'd fall asleep
I wake up in your arms and I'd feel at ease
It's gonna be a long night
I still have your shirt in my dresser drawer
The one with the stripes that you liked in store
Everything has changed, I wanted more
Oh how its raining
Oh how the water falls
Into the safe things
We tried to set in stone
I can't replace you
I can't escape you now
But I remember the nights when you'd lie with me
Where we'd talk and we'd touch and we'd fall asleep
I wake up in your arms and I'd feel at ease
But now its just me and I lie awake
And I toss and I turn and I see your face
When I wake from a dream it won't go away
Oh, it's gonna be a long night
But I remember the nights when you'd lie with me
Where we'd talk and we'd touch and we'd fall asleep
I wake up in your arms and I'd feel at ease
But now its just me and I lie awake
And I toss and I turn and I see your face
When I wake from a dream it won't go away
Oh, it's gonna be a long night

I love the simplicity of this video. It is not extravagant and it probably didn't cost a lot of money to make. It is just Jayden with a piano in a dark room. It reminds me of the good ol' days where Jayden posted covers from his bedroom (specifically the Somewher in Neverland/Dammit mashup cover)
