### "Infinity"

"Infinity" is an upbeat pop song, with string and acoustic-focused instrumentation and vocals led by all three brothers. The song was described by Idolator as "a stripped-back, folk-tinged pop song with a powerful sing-a-long chorus". "Infinity" was initially released on YouTube in 2013 before its proper release with updated production. The song was picked as a single to contrast their previous single "I'm Ready", with band member Adam Met stating "we didn't want something that sounded exactly the same, and we didn't want to, kind of, pigeonhole ourselves into just doing that very specific kind of music" in an interview with Niagra Frontier Publications.
Alongside its release on September 11, 2014, AJR published a lyric video for the song, featuring stills of the band floating in the air with lyrics appearing on top of the images. A music video for "Infinity" was released on January 14, 2015. The video cuts between the band performing the song in a solid white room and illustrations of positive and negative relationship aspects. The animation for the video was done by filming the scenes in-person and tracing over certain aspects of it. "Infinity" was additionally performed on Today on May 19, 2015. The song was included as the second track of the band's debut album Living Room (2015).
