*Main Article:* Family vs. Friends (single)

The Reverse Kids were founded at Stockdale High School by Mikie and Veronica Hudis in 2018.

On October 13, 2018, the band launched the Family vs. Friends tour to support their debut single, which was cut short after a day.

Prior to the release of their debut single, the band had problems finding members. This resulted in Mikie and Veronica as the only remaining members willing to perform. A scrapped debut album, Friendship Power, was meant for release in 2020 but was cancelled in 2019; Family vs. Friends was meant to serve as the lead single off that album.
