• This uplifting, motivational track is the lead single from Sleeping With Sirens' fifth studio album, Gossip. The track was released on July 14th, 2017.
  
  "Legends is one of the first songs that clicked when we started writing this record," recalled frontman Kellin Quinn. "We started coming up with the music and it had such an epic sound to it. The hook kinda just came to me. I was thinking about everything we've been through as a band and the road that we're trying to travel – and everything that you want to try to do in your life simply as a human being – the lyric, 'We could be legends after all' is something that makes a lot of sense because nothing's guaranteed in life but if you put forth the work and the effort and you try as hard as you can and you follow your dreams then maybe you can make something really awesome happen with your life. That's basically the idea behind the song."
  
  "It's like you can either give up or you can keep working and trying hard—that's always been the background of our band," he continued. "I think that's been our message to everybody. The whole point of life is to get out there and do something important. You only have one life to live so you might as well do whatever you can to make the best of it."
• The track was declared the official song for Team USA heading into the 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang, Korea.
