A true phenomenon in the world of indie-pop,The Walters first burst onto the scene in 2014 with“I LoveYou So”–a self-released smash that quickly brought the Chicago-bred band massive streaming success, all on the strength of their heart-on-sleeve songwriting and harmony-driven sound. After building a global fan base and touring all over the country,The Walters began an indefinite hiatus in 2017, signing off with a crowd-thrilling set at Lollapalooza 2017. Just as they started plotting their return, the band found themselves thrown back into the pop zeitgeist when“I Love You So”exploded on TikTok in2021, a whirlwind turn of events that’s generated more10 billion global TikTok views to date. Along with reaching platinum status and climbing the charts atTop 40 radio—in addition to surpassing 950 million streams on Spotify(and still growing week after week) and hitting#1in over seven countries on the Viral50—“I Love You So” soon led toThe Walters’ signing withWarner Records.
