Real Friends released their second studio album The Home Inside My Head in May 2016.[1] It peaked at number 53 on the Billboard 200 in the United States;[2] they promoted it with an appearance at Slam Dunk Festival in the United Kingdom,[3] joining the Warped Tour touring festival and supporting the Wonder Years in the US,[4][5] a headlining UK tour[6] and a headlining US tour through to June 2017.[7]

"Get By" was released as a single on November 16, 2017.[8] To promote it, the band played a short, three-date tour they dubbed A Weekend in the Midwest Tour, with support from Life Lessons.[9] To close out the year, Real Friends played two holiday shows with Knuckle Puck; both bands were supported by This Wild Life, Pet Symmetry, Free Throw and Hot Mulligan.[10] The band were planned to support Simple Plan on their headlining tour of Australia,[11] and visit Europe, but these treks were cancelled in March 2018 with the band citing mental health reasons.[12] "From the Outside" was released as a single on June 4, 2018.[13] Coinciding with this, the song's music video was posted online.[14] On June 18, 2018, Composure was announced for release the following month, with its track listing and artwork being revealed.[15] "Smiling on the Surface" was released as a single on June 19, 2018.[16] Two days later, the band embarked on the Warped Tour touring festival across North America until August 2018.[17] "Unconditional Love" was released as a single on July 6, 2018.[18] Composure was released on July 13, 2018, through Fearless Records;[19] it was promoted with three listening parties ahead of its release.[15]

In October and November 2018, Real Friends went on a headlining US tour, with support from Boston Manor, Grayscale and Eat Your Heart Out.[20] A music video was released for "Me First" on October 29, 2018.[21] In January 2019, Real Friends appeared at the Maine's 8123 Fest,[22] which was followed by a tour of Latin America the following month.[23] In May 2019, they then performed at the Slam Dunk Festival in the UK.[24] Following this, they supported New Found Glory on their North American tour through to July 2019.[25] In the midst of this, Real Friends released the Even More Acoustic Songs EP, which featured versions of "From the Outside", "Me First", "Composure" and "Get By";[26] the first of these, "From the Outside", had been issued ahead of the EP.[27] In August and September 2019, they went on a short Midwestern and East Coast tour with support from Pronoun and Keep Flying.[28] Following an appearance at Four Chord Music Festival, Real Friends went on European tour with support from Grayscale and Belmont in October and November 2019.[29]
