"Come Hang Out" is a song by American pop band AJR, appearing as the opening track of their fourth EP What Everyone's Thinking on September 16, 2016. It was later included as the closer of their second studio album The Click (2017), receiving a music video the next year in partnership with Original Penguin. The song discusses the balance of personal development with social status.
In 2016, lead singer Jack Met noticed he had often received texts from friends to "come hang out" and he denied each request.[4] This led the band to write about the social sacrifice made to develop their music and the emotional split from balancing a social life with a career and personal interests.[5] "Come Hang Out" was included on What Everyone's Thinking,[1] releasing on September 16, 2016.[6] It was later released as the final song on The Click (2017),[7] inspiring the album's theme and title through the metronome-accompanied lyric "Should I go for more clicks this year? / Or should I follow the click in my ear?".[8][9] AJR has stated that their song "Christmas in June" from OK Orchestra (2021) is a continuation of "Come Hang Out".[10]
