The format find grace in "Right Where I Belong"

The Format,an indie rock duo, is back with a quiet yet powerful new single, “Right Where I Belong.” With Nate Ruess on vocals and guitar, and Sam Means on keyboards, the band shares a song that sounds less like a comeback and more like an personal chat with fans who’ve been aging right along with the group's music.

Written by Ruess and Means, and produced by Brendan O’Brien, “Right Where I Belong” embraces thought over memories. It’s a personal track about the lives we’ve built in time away, the homes, the families, and the chosen people who quietly shape who we become. There is a calm confidence here, as if the song isn’t attempting to prove anything, it’s just trying to tell the truth.


"Right Where I Belong" is a letter sent without expectation, just the faint desire to finally find you there as who you are. In that, it is beautifully successful. "Right Where I Belong" is comfort, a collective breath, and a reminder that growing up doesn’t have to mean losing sight of who you are. Sometimes that means understanding you’ve made it.
