The band’s last album, ‘Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night’ took them to new heights, showcasing Antonoff’s immersive songwriting and, as Variety testified, his innate skill at “supersizing personal stories into larger-than-life pop anthems”. The campaign saw the band make their debut on NBC’s infamous Saturday Night Live and saw single "Stop Making This Hurt” receive a 'Best Alternative Video' nomination at the 2021 MTV VMAs, hit #1 at Triple A and top ten at Alternative radio.
Both with Bleachers and as a songwriter and producer, Antonoff, who, in 2021, was credited by the BBC for having “redefined pop music”, has collaborated with the likes of Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, The 1975, Diana Ross, Lorde, St. Vincent, Florence + The Machine, Kevin Abstract and many more.
