Imagine Dragons' breakthrough hit, “It’s Time” hit #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 despite being an alternative/indie song. As Dan Reynolds croons about “giving the commodities a rain check”, an infectious mandolin riff backs the song up.

In an interview, lead singer Dan Reynolds explained:

‘It’s Time’ is a song I wrote at a low point in my life. It started as a poem then I turned it into a melody and recorded it on my computer. It was a song for myself to cope with the low points of life – I was dropping out of college at the time. To hear it on the radio is a bit baffling.
