The band's music is an eclectic mix of genres, including alternative rock, indie rock, and pop. They are known for their energetic and emotional live performances, which are often accompanied by elaborate visuals and lighting.
X Ambassadors' breakthrough came with the release of their debut album, "VHS," in 2015. The album spawned several hit singles, including "Renegades," "Unsteady," and "Jungle," which have collectively amassed over a billion streams on Spotify alone. "VHS" also featured collaborations with other artists, including Imagine Dragons and Jamie N Commons.
One of the band's defining characteristics is their willingness to address personal and social issues through their music. For instance, "Unsteady" is a poignant reflection on the Harris brothers' upbringing with a mother who battled substance abuse, while "Renegades" is a call for rebellion against societal norms.
X Ambassadors have also been vocal advocates for mental health awareness and have worked with organizations like the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the JED Foundation. In 2019, they launched their own initiative, the "Joyful Tour," which aimed to destigmatize mental health issues and promote self-care among fans.
In addition to their studio albums, X Ambassadors have released several EPs and singles over the years, showcasing their versatility as a band. They have also collaborated with other artists on various projects, including the soundtrack for the Netflix film "Bright" and the song "Home" with Machine Gun Kelly and Bebe Rexha.
Low Life
X Ambassadors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking about my own life
I can't help myself from falling
Can't help myself from falling
I'm nothing but a low life
Thinking about my own life
I'm trying to fight the good own fight
Wanna be a better man, but it's a hard life
Without that love inside you, it's a cown bind
But, I started to reflect on all that's been before
Started to wonder, but, but you can't be sure
Now please tell me I'm broke
It's much easier that way, 'cause I just let you down
It's much easier that way
I'm nothing but a low life (low life)
Thinking 'bout my own life (own life)
I can't help myself from falling
Can't help myself from falling
I'm nothing but a low life (low life)
Thinking 'bout my own life (own life)
I'm trying to fight the good own fight
But after it all, I'm still just a low life
There are words in my mind in the candlelight
Cown hands on my heart keeping slow time
And I started to reflect on all that's been before
Started to wonder, but, but you can't be sure
Now please tell me I'm broke
It's much easier that way, 'cause I just let you down
It's much easier that way
I'm nothing but a low life (low life)
Thinking 'bout my own life (own life)
I can't help myself from falling
Can't help myself from falling
I'm nothing but a low life (low life)
Thinking 'bout my own life (own life)
I'm trying to fight the good own fight
But after it all, I'm still just a low life
I'm still just a low life
Nothing but a low life
I can't help myself from falling
I can't help myself from falling
I'm still just a low life
I'm nothing but a low life
(I'm trying to fight the good own fight
But after it all, I'm still just a low life)
I'm nothing but a low life (nothing but a low life)
Thinking about my own life (thinking 'bout my own life)
I can't help myself from falling (can't help myself)
Can't help myself from falling (can't help myself)
I'm nothing but a low life (nothing but a low life)
Oh, I'm thinking about my own life (thinking 'bout my own life)
I'm trying to fight the good own fight
But after it all, I'm still just a low life

The lyrics "can't help myself from falling" is repeated throughout the song to emphasize this struggle.
The singer reflects on their past and wonders if they could have done things differently, but admits that they can't be sure. They ask to be told that they are broke because it's easier than facing the disappointment of letting someone down. In the end, despite trying to fight the good fight, they still feel like they are nothing but a "low life."

Marginal (part. Jamie N Commons)
Não sou nada além de um marginal
Pensando na minha própria vida
Não consigo impedir que eu caia
Não consigo impedir que eu caia
Não sou nada além de um marginal
Pensando na própria vida
Estou tentando lutar a boa e velha briga
Mas, no final, ainda sou apenas um marginal
Quero ser um homem melhor, mas é uma vida difícil
Sem aquele amor dentro de você, é uma ligação fria
Começo a pensar em tudo o que foi antes
Comecei a imaginar, mas, mas você não pode ter certeza
Agora, por favor, me diga que estou quebrado
É mais fácil desse jeito, porque eu só te desaponto
É mais fácil desse jeito
Não sou nada além de um marginal
Pensando na minha própria vida
Não consigo impedir que eu caia
Não consigo impedir que eu caia
Não sou nada além de um marginal
Pensando na própria vida
Estou tentando lutar a boa e velha briga
Mas, no final, ainda sou apenas um marginal
Há palavras em minha mente à luz da vela
Mãos frias no meu coração, mantendo o tempo devagar
E comecei a refletir no que foi antes
Comecei a imaginar, mas você não pode ter certeza
Agora, por favor, me diga que estou quebrado
É mais fácil desse jeito, porque eu só te desaponto
É mais fácil desse jeito
Não sou nada além de um marginal
Pensando em minha própria vida
Não consigo impedir que eu caia
Não consigo impedir que eu caia
Não sou nada além de um marginal
Pensando em minha própria vida
Estou tentando lutar a boa e velha briga
Mas, no final, ainda sou apenas um marginal
Ainda sou apenas um marginal
Nada mais que um marginal
Não consigo impedir que eu caia
Não consigo impedir que eu caia
Ainda apenas um marginal
Não sou nada além de um marginal
Estou tentando lutar a boa e velha briga
Mas, no final, sou apenas um marginal
Não sou nada além de um marginal (nada além de um marginal)
Pensando na minha vida (pensando na minha própria vida)
Não consigo impedir que eu caia (não consigo)
Não consigo impedir que eu caia (não consigo)
Não sou nada mais que um marginal (nada mais que um marginal)
Estou pensando sobre minha vida (pensando sobre minha própria vida)
Estou tentando lutar a boa e velha briga
Mas, no final, ainda sou apenas um marginal
Rise UP
I feel every lyric like i wrote every words....
Je ne suis rien qu'un vaurien
Pensant à ma propre vie
Je ne peux m'empêcher de tomber
Ne peux m'empêcher de tomber
Je ne suis rien qu'un vaurien
Pensant à ma propre vie
J'essaie de me battre pour la bonne vieille bataile
Mais après tout, je reste un vaurien
- Jamie N Commons:
Je voudrais être un homme meilleur, mais c'est une vie difficile
Sans amour en vous, c'est une situation difficile
J'ai commencé à réfléchir à tout ce qu'y était avant
Commencé à me questionner, mais, mais on ne peut être sûr
Maintenant š'il te plait dis-moi que je suis brisé
C'est plus facile ainsi parce que je te laisse juste tomber
C'est plus facile ainsi
- X Ambassadors: (Chorus)
- A$AP Ferg: (*)
Un vaurien c'était mon oncle quand il a frapper le crystal
Cette pipe de verre et la roche lui ont fait porter des armes
Il planait plus haut qu'un missile avec une douzaine de problèmes
Et chaque fois qu'il pleurait, il ne cherchait jamais de mouchoir
Recherchant avec attention, se faufilant, hurlant quand il s'enfuyait en sinuant
Ma grand-mère lui a caché le marteau, il est là-bas se plaignant
Mentant tout le temps, ne le crois pas
Il est là-bas en train de voler
Aux coins à faire le chef, faisant des doigts d'honneur aux policiers
Disant toujours à maman qu'il avait un nouveau job
Donc qu'il aurait besoin de quelques dollars pour une carte de métro
Il a juste un 40 oz, maintenant il vit en grand
Il a même pris mon vélo pour le vendre, mec je le jure
- Jamie N Commons:
Il y a des mots dans ma tête à la lueur des bougies
Des mains froides sur mon cœur qui maintiennent le temps au ralenti
J'ai commencé à réfléchir à tout ce qu'il y a eu avant
Commencé à me questionner, mais, mais on ne peut être sûr
Maintenant dis-moi que je suis brisé
C'est plus facile ainsi parce que je te laisse juste tomber
C'est plus facile ainsi
- X Ambassadors:
(Chorus)
- X Ambassadors & Jamie N Commons:
Oh, oh , oh, ooooooh
Je reste un vaurien
Rien qu'un vaurien
Je ne peux m'empêcher de tomber
Je ne peux m'empêcher de tomber
Reste un vaurien
Je ne suis rien qu'un vaurien
J'essaie de me battre pour la bonne cause
Mais après tout, je reste un vaurien
- X Ambassadors (Jamie N Commons):
Je ne suis rien qu'un vaurien (rien qu'un vaurien)
En pensant à ma propre vie (pensant à ma propre vie)
Je ne peux m'empêcher de tomber (ne peux m'empêcher)
Ne peux m'empêcher de tomber (ne peux m'empêcher)
Je ne suis rien qu'un vaurien (rien qu'un vaurien)
Oj je pense à ma propre vie (pense à ma propre vie)
J'essaie de me battre pour la bonne cause
Mais après tout, je reste un vaurien
