Background

Like their debut album Sports (2012), You're Gonna Miss It All was written while the band members were attending college. [6] Unlike Sports which only featured Lukens and Ewald, "we were just excited to have a full band and make [You're Gonna Miss It All] that way", according to Ewald. [7] Discussing writing, Ewald said one member of the group would come up with a lyric "and we'll go run off by ourselves and try to build around that". [7] In an interview with Dirty Water Media, Brendan explained the title of the album was "a joke on Jake," who had gotten up to blow his nose before the finale of a firework show the group was watching when someone said to Jake, "you're gonna miss it all!" [8]
