“R.I.P. 2 My Youth” was the lead single from The Neighbourhood’s album, Wiped Out! Frontman Jesse Rutherford explained how the song outlines what has happened in the band members' lives in the past couple of years. It is a reflection upon the “awesome opportunities they’ve had.” It also touches upon the difficulty of growing up and losing your youth, an experience that occurs for some sooner than others, something that Rutherford and the band experienced while touring and making music.
