“Sober Up” is the fourth track on AJR’s second album titled The Click, and features singer-songwriter Rivers Cuomo.

In an interview with Billboard Pop Shop talked about what the song was about and what it was like to work with one of their favorite artists, Rivers Cuomo. Being a huge fan of Rivers for their entire career, they were floored to when he complimented their song, “Weak”. They added that they thought the appeal to “Sober Up” from a fan’s perspective must have been from the universal theme of simplistic times in a person’s life.

We did our first couple of semesters at Columbia, we were experiencing the whole college vibe, going to parties and doing that sort of thing. And then there was a time where we just started getting depressed a little bit. We started getting sad because we felt a little bit too grown up, because one of the things we kind of pride ourselves on is staying young and having that little-kid experience.
