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.

Say You Will
With Confidence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A streetlight sunrise
I think, I think I know
That one day, one day we'll go
And this is what we wanted
And this is what we need
And this is everything that I hoped we'd be
Say you will, say you will be the same,
Say you will, say you will never change
And light shines so bright
In these eyes tonight
Say you will, Say you will be the same
Eighteen, carefree
Vodka, caffeine
I think, I think I know,
That one day, one day, we'll go
And this is what we wanted
And this is what we need
And this is everything that I hoped we'd be
Say you will, say you will be the same,
Say you will, say you will never change
And light shines so bright
In these eyes tonight
Say you will, Say you will be the same
"Say You Will" by With Confidence is a song about the fleeting nature of youth and the desire for a sense of permanence in relationships. The first verse describes the feeling of being up late and driving around the city with the streetlights shimmering in the distance. The singer thinks that he knows that one day, they will have to leave this moment and move on, but he still desires to hold onto it forever. The chorus echoes this sentiment as the singer asks his partner to promise that they will never change and always stay the same. He wants them to be the shining light that guides him through life’s ups and downs, and make his journey worthwhile.
The second verse reveals the age of the singer and talks about how he is living a carefree life. He drinks vodka and caffeine, and he feels that he knows that one day he will have to leave this behind. He wants his partner to promise to always stay with him through these fleeting moments of freedom and happiness. The song implies that this is a love song for a person or a moment, as the chorus still holds the desire for a sense of permanence and stability.
The lyrics of this song are about the universal desire for happiness and stability in life, and the emotions are real and felt by many. The song is about the sweetness of young love and the desire for it to last forever. Overall, "Say You Will" is a powerful song about the transience of life and the hope for permanence, set to catchy pop-punk melodies.
