Best Intentions is the debut studio album by American rock band We Are the In Crowd.

Background

"This Isn't Goodbye, It's BRB" was written for inclusion on the band's first EP, but was rejected.[1] The bridge section was used for "Carry Me Home", resulting in a new version of the song being written for Best Intentions.[1]

Release

The record's lead single, "Rumor Mill", was released July 26, 2011.[2] The band announced the album title and its release date on August 3 and allowed pre-sale orders for the album the same day.[3] Best Intentions was released on October 4, 2011 through Hopeless Records.
