On January 21, a single containing three remixes of the song was released.[3] Song theme and recordingIn an interview with Rolling Stone, Switchfoot bassist Tim Foreman said, "This song takes me back to when our band was first starting out – driving around California stuffed into a minivan with guitars and drums, ready to take on the world. Armed with nothing but a few songs and a wild hope, we were dumb enough to think that it could work. Maybe that's the only way that the world has ever changed, by people dumb enough to try. So here's to everyone who's young and dumb enough to ignore the crowd and believe in who they are."[4] The song features vocals of Switchfoot members' children. One of the scenes in the Fading West film shows the recording of the song, with vocalist Jon Foreman sitting in the studio on the floor, conducting the children's choir.[5] Critical receptionIn a review for Indie Vision Music, Ian Zandi wrote that the song "sets the beat" and is the "best possible track they [Switchfoot] could have picked to be the start of the Fading West EP." He also added, "Jon sounds cleaner than ever before as his grizzly bear vocals are nowhere to be found. Musically, the song is very spacious. I would compare the atmosphere of the EP itself to the likes of Coldplay, Bon Iver and Arcade Fire. This is not to say that Switchfoot sounds like those bands. They don't really. It is more of the feeling of the music. It evokes emotions, it is relaxing, engaging, and it's encouraging. 'Who We Are' may not be my favourite Switchfoot song but it is very fitting."[6] Music videoOn September 18, 2013, a music video for "Who We Are" premiered on the Rolling Stone magazine website.[4] It was released onto Switchfoot's official YouTube channel a day later, on September 19.[7] The video consists of scenes from the band's rock documentary Fading West, which were filmed during Switchfoot's 2012 World Tour, in locations such as the U.S., South Africa, Bali, Australia and New Zealand.[8][9] Track listing{{tracklist| headline = Remixes Single[3] | title1 = Who We Are | note1 = Michael Calfan Radio Edit | length1 = 3:20 | title2 = Who We Are | note2 = New World Sound Radio Edit | length2 = 3:15 | title3 = Who We Are | note3 = Dave Winnel Radio Edit | length3 = 3:07 }} Charts
