Afraid (The Neighbourhood song)

The song was written by group members Jesse Rutherford, Zach Abels and Jeremy Freedman, and was produced by Justyn Pilbrow and Emile Haynie.

It serves as the second single to their debut studio album, I Love You, which was released on April 19, 2013 via Columbia Records.

Jesse Rutherford explains that when they "reached out to artists to do remixes it was kind of a weird idea to expand outside of our direct family.

In the video's premise, lead singer Rutherford was shown in past (teen) and present forms.

Rutherford himself was naked throughout much of the video to express his vulnerability and fears, also the eyelids show the different perspectives of everyone in the band, from writing the songs, to playing basketball.
