The Knocks is a duo made up of Ben Ruttner and James Patterson who've been active since 2010. The name of the group is in reference to how many times neighbors came knocking complaining about the noise. Their first single came out in 2010 followed by the an EP in 2011. They released some more singles throughout 2012 and 2013, collaborating with some other artists, followed by a slew of more in 2014 that would make up their next EP released in 2015. They did more collaborations, and helped produce Wyclef Jean's album before releasing their debut album in 2016. They released a second album in 2018, and have been doing EP's throughout their career since, and have continued to work with other artists on their albums. This song is not the only one they've done with Foster The People, there was another in 2020, so check the one out too if you're interested. So Foster The People have been around since 2009 and are currently made up of Mark Foster, Sean Cimino, Isom Innis, and Mark Pontius, with one past member being Jacob Fink. Over their career they've released three albums, the most recent from 2017, and have collaborated with a number of artists on other songs like this one. They've also been nominated for and won awards, and have kept momentum ever since become a viral success in 2010. I've featured them before so I wont go more in depth than that, but check them out if you're curious because they're great.

Peace.
