"Renegades" is a song by American alternative rock band X Ambassadors. It was released as the second single from the band's debut studio album VHS on March 3, 2015.

Background

The song was leveraged as a commercial tie-in with the release of the Jeep Renegade. It was delivered very quickly, just a few days after the request was sent in to Interscope Records as the song was nearly complete when Jeep first approached Interscope.[1] It has been the band's most successful song so far. "We're trying not to get too caught up in everything," X Ambassadors vocalist Sam Harris said. "We're just glad people like ['Renegades'] and that it's having a positive effect on them."[2] The song was also featured in the second season of The Flash.

Music video

The music video was released in June 2015 and was shot in the band's hometown of Ithaca, New York. It depicts several people with disabilities working to overcome their challenges. It had a personal aspect to it, since band member Casey Harris has been blind since birth. "We wanted to make it emotional and personal — and that's as personal as it gets for me, Casey and the band," Sam Harris stated.[3]
