- From the band: "When we heard about the amazing work It’s On Us is doing to create an environment to support survivors and change the way think about and talk about sexual assault, we knew we wanted to be part of this conversation the best way we knew how - by writing a song. Give it a listen, add it to your favorite Spotify playlist and if you’re looking to support the #ItsOnUs movement, give it a download on iTunes because we’re proud to announce all proceeds from the song will be donated to It’s On Us!"

Me: *Thinks this is a new AJR song*
Video: 6 years old
Shon Liss I do that with every new AJR song I come across
Bro me too
Lol i found it in like 14 months ago
Same
its good non the less
Even though this song is for victims of sexual assult (and that i'm incredibly late to post this) i like to think that it can refer to people with mental health problems like depression or anxiety or anything like that.
Agreed
Yup
Yess
When I hear this song, I think of my friends who helped me and protected me when I came out. They made sure I didn't get beat up, and now when I hear this song, I think of them telling people off and walking with me to make sure I got home safe.
I agree
I love this band they’re literally probably the nicest people you will ever meet
Facts there so calming to me
Here in 2021
they are literally maybe probably might be almost could be the nicest people you will ever meet
you will ever met
good jokes from sans
Strait facts, not only that they make the best music I have ever heard
dose anyone else feel like crying to this
Invincible Live Gaming I’m always crying to this
Agree
Kinda... yeah.
Yeah, always
Yeah
I feel like this applies for everyone because everyone has to battle their own inner demons.
But this is a great song and the meaning behind it is amazing.
This doesn't have to just relate to sexual assult, but any trauma or heartbreak
Christena Klouda absolutely I agree, abusive memories are so hard to forget even a little.
I have so much trama from being mentally abused never physically but I can’t take the physical pain nog the mental though my parents won’t take to to a councilor and only my close friends can tell when I have a panic attack j never pass out I just get sweaty and really shakey so yeah I agree.
and depression
I have alot of trauma from my dad and this song made me tear up
As a victim of sexual assaults, I'm still dealing with a lot of shit from when it happened. So when I read the description, I immediately started to cry. You have no idea how much this song means to me and to other victims. You truly are amazing people
I hope you get better, just know, It's not your fault. I hope you get more confident in life.
I wish you well.
I wish the best for you.
Eventhough life is hard it will get better.
Same here, but one thing is for sure, both of us are strong for managing, I hope you're getting therapy or have gotten therapy like me, you are amazing and I hope you have a great life full of happiness
I’m very happy that your happy
[Verse 1]
Nobody knows what you're going through
So you just be you, and I'll be that, too
No one should know if you bleed red or blue
You just bleed you, and I'll sit with you
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not your fault you don't feel safe
It's not your fault so don't take blame
(No, it's on us)
It's not your fault you don't feel safe
It's not your fault so don't take blame
(No, it's on us)
[Chorus]
We can try together
Make it right together
We can fight together
It's on us
Though your trust is stolen
Though your heart is broken
You are never broken
It's on us
Know that it's on us
[Verse 2]
I wonder where, where your mind goes
Come out of the cold, we'll take the load
And if they hurt you with words so cruel
Here's what we'll do, we'll all fight for you
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not your fault you don't feel safe
It's not your fault so don't take blame
(No, it's on us)
It's not your fault you don't feel safe
It's not your fault so don't take blame
(No, it's on us)
[Chorus]
We can try together
Make it right together
We can fight together
It's on us
Though your trust is stolen
Though your heart is broken
You are never broken
It's on us
Know that it's on us
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not your fault you don't feel safe
It's not your fault so don't take blame
(It's on us, it's on us)
We know what we need to do
So I'll be there, it's not on you
(It's on us, it's on us)
[Chorus]
We can try together
Make it right together
We can fight together
It's on us
Though your trust is stolen
Though your heart is broken
You are never broken
It's on us
Know that it's on us
Julia Messenger its was much appreciated
thanks
Julia Messenger thanks
This song has made me cry...tears of joy! It explains my two emotions in one 😂 and also this song is kinda sad like me! Lol #AJR #AJR_ROCKS
Also I could listen to this song over and over and not get annoyed by it.....it's amazing and gives so many emotions and it's just amazing! (So many good emotions I mean) and AJR speaks my language and I wanna follow in their path and taste of music! (Not like stealing their songs I don't copyright) bye! 😘

This song doesn’t just speak to people who have faced sexual abuse, it speaks to hose with mental health problems, any sort of abuse problem, or people who are just generally upset in this unkind and this ever heartbreaking world and society.
I love how this song can be taken in so many ways. such as SA, trauma, depression, anxiety, and much more. This is why AJR is my favorite band.
frfr
For me is specifically spoke out to me for my religious trauma.
Does anyone else on sad songs or songs like this go down to the comments to read people’s story’s and complement them and say something encouraging it’s like I’m a 12 year old consellor I love it
if you bothered to press read more and your reading this now just know I love you and you are an amazing person that deserves the best of luck and just remember you are loved and you are on this world for a reason you have a purpose
Memento Mori
DUnus-Annus UNUS ANNUS YESS BOIIIIII
You just made me stop crying tanks Lol
:3
Ik what this song is ab but I had an extreme anxiety attack yesterday after asking out a girl and being rejected. People laughed in my face and mocked me while I shook uncontrollably and almost broke down into tears. And it was the people I thought were my friends that laughed at me. I don’t know who to trust anymore. I feel extremely lost on what to do anymore.
Hug?
@@DoMorrMusic that would help thank u
You commented this a year ago but I really hope that you’re doing better :)
Every AJR song speaks so much to me, their song help me get through the hardest times, the times where you know... with out them I don't think I'd be here, they helped me look at the positive side of the world. Thank you guys.
Crazy Izzy Same here.
HazelnutSheep same here they are soo good at making nice songs
*HazelnutSheep* preach
kind of me too
F
I'm not a victim of sexual assault but I still broke down because I actually felt like someone was there for me..
Same
As a person who suffered from both sexual assault and domestic abuse, this song meant so much to me. I've been a big fan of AJR for years, and my friend just recently sent me this song. I still cry every time I hear it.
Thanks to AJR for getting me through tough times.
And thanks to the It's On Us movement for helping bring bad situations to light.
I was Sexual abused when I was 10 years old, not one song on the Internet has made me feel really content in the last 10 yes. Thank you guys 😘😘
Madelaine Booth stay strong hun
icon for hire x flyleaf thank you 😙😙😙
Madelaine Booth im so proud that you got through that terrible period in your life. keep your head held high. 🖤
Mae Em thank you all so much 😢😢😙😙
Please continue to happiness. You're great.
A new AJR song is like a plate full of freshly glazed doughnuts
thats one way to put it :,)))
Pterodonut Diabetes inducing?
well, It is a very sweet song.
I like how your profile picture is also a donut
Pterodonut so true
my best friend sent this to me after she found out that i went through something very traumatic, and i’m in tears
I heard this on spotify, idk why but I'm crying
You still crying?
@@LewisMcS no lmao wtf when did I post this
This is a proper concert vibe. Just imagine everyone with their light on their phones waving to the music. AJR at the front with there different style of dance like they do for very song.
I’m in tears. I’ve never been sexually abused(probably because I’m male) but this song can help literally anyone and everyone. I was in a bad place before I listened to this song. Thank you so goddamn much AJR! I love you with all of my heart.
This is so important; this message needs to be spread and it's amazing you guys not only recognize that, but actually care about it enough to dedicate a song to it and support this organization. So much respect!!!
I'm on it!
doctor: you have 3 mins and 26 sec left to live
me: *listens to AJR it's on us*
1 second to admite it :)
I've never had someone tell me that it wasn't my fault, I cried my eyes out but this is officially my new favorite AJR song
EVERY SONG OF AJR IS PERFECT! Idk how they do it! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!
i agree with you
Amberger I
I love them so much. Their personalities,Their atier,Thier music,and them.All of them.They are truly amazing spirits. Jack, with his silly , goofy, and sweet personality and Ryan, with his truley kind and intelligent personality and Adam with his modest and Nobel personality. I love them all so much and hope they get far in the music career .
I also hope their fan base gets much larger. #AJRARMY
ajr=life
Agreed
Man i just realised something.
The actual line "It's on us" has 2 meanings if you ask me, but both managed to fit in the context of the song.
It's on us as in like facing alot of problems, knowing there are people out there that can have the answer for you.
But also in the meaning of being blammend or accused of something that actually isn't your fault, but knowing it wasn't you will remind you that things will heal by time and things will be ok again.
I love this song because it's catchy while also addressing a very serious topic and a lot if people don't realize how important it is.
As a victim of grooming for sexual purposes, it took a long time for me to realize exactly how badly it affected me.
Then one night a sibling pointed me to this song and I just started crying. I'm starting to feel like it's not my fault for missing red flags (at 17, no less) and not wanting to let him down for almost a year. This song helped me start healing. Thank you AJR!
This is absolutely fantastic. The lyrics and the music are SUCH a good combination.
AJR is so great.
#AJRmy

Madi Prince THATS SO CLEVER OMG CNA THIS BE A THING
Mae Em hehe yeah
Madi Prince do I know you?
#AJRmy 😁
Honestly... this song should be so much heard of... it has a pretty deep meaning
AJR is so underrated. in my opinion theyre better than even twenty one pilots (top is my favorite band lol)
OMG same I used to love TØP so much but then I found AJR and was like, they are my new fav band
They're both very talented... sorry hardcore twenty one pilots fan.. xD I had to comment
Katie I get it, personally I prefer AJR, but I still have the massive poster of Josh on my own xD
Crazy Izzy tøp merch has taken over mu wardrobe.. xD I am so deep into the Clique its gonna be hard to get out.
Katie saaaame, that's why I wanna get some AJR merch, I have too much TØP merch
I love how they're helping to raise awareness for this through music. ♥
10 people liked this so much that they turned their phone upside down and liked it again
132 people turned their phone upside
ppl on their way to dislike literally anything:
I DIDNT THINK I COULD LOVE YOU GUYS MORE
Who else didn’t didn’t realize this was for a movement until you looked it up?
The first band which manages to impress me with every single one of their songs! Sending best regards from Austria
Thank you austria?
I cried when I first heard this song because I can relate to this more than any song by the Adam, Jack, and Ryan. I’m so fricking insecure I hate my voice, my actions, my body I hate me. Im still not over that kid who like caused me years of trama. I’m legit crying writing this. I know that this song (because it’s on this channel) it’s more about survivors of rape and crap but I get the vibe of my years of trama.
I love how these type of songs can be touched by different problems, even if the original meaning was only one. Cause this can be for bullying, mental illnesses, abuse, and/or just going through hard times like the lose of a family member or PTSD. Also, of course, Sexual assault which was it's main point. The fact they can write in a way that touches many different problems proves they are great writers, because it is very hard to appeal to everyone in the crowd. I love them so much!!!
As a victim of a lot of sexual assault in my lifetime, at a very early age at that, I cried. I love this band.
The more I look into AJR, the more reasons I find to love and adore this band with every fiber of my being. I've been listening to this on repeat for a while now and, I swear, it's like a warm hug from a close friend. I cried my eyes out listening to this and it just means so much I can't even rightfully put it into words. I've blamed myself for something that happened to me in the past ever since it happened and it's so hard to overcome every day, it's so hard to trust again and take the blame off of myself...It hurts a lot that it still effects me as heavily as it does, but this song is so comforting, so soothing and reassuring...God, I hope I can meet them one day so I can thank them for this and so many other heartbreakingly beautiful songs they've written.
For anyone out there going through something similar or anything difficult at all, please hang in there. It hurts and it might keep hurting for a long while, but things get easier, things get better and genuinely good people do exist. Don't give up.
I promise I won’t give up, and I hope you won’t either☺️I believe in you😌❤️
that's you I need this right now I always feel like its my fault everyone says it is my fault I was 7 I didn't know it was bad I didn't know
popcorn3902 I know I’m kinda late to comment back, but could I say something? I’m proud you’re still here and proud you were able to comment that.
popcorn3902 You didn't know and this is not your fault, you were 7 for godsakes!
popcorn3902 yeah, I hate when people say, "well why didn't you tell anyone?" I didn't tell anyone because I didn't know what was happening. I only knew it felt weird and I didn't like it. And it's been so long I don't think anyone would believe me anymore. And I did tell someone. They didn't believe me.
Blood doesn't make a family Even if people don't believe you, keep on saying the truth, stay strong.
lol I love your profile picture
3 years later and this song is still relevant in a new way
Single-handedly one the the deepest songs I've ever heard.
I'm glad AJR made this song.
To any victums: Its on us
Don't suffer alone.
I've been listening to AJR for about a year and I love their work, so when I saw this on Spotify, I IMMEDIATELY added it to my favorites playlist and came here. Great song, keep up the good work, awareness, and words of encouragement! 😊😊😊
As a highschooler who's been being harassed at work for a while by a man in his late twenties, I'd just like to say that this song gave me courage to talk to my parents and boss about it today.
I've been seriously scared of this guy for a while - he knows my work schedule and where I go to church, so he's been trying to find me in those places and he gets angry when I avoid him. I felt guilty, thinking I gave him a reason to think I was OK with his behavior, but today I randomly remembered the line "It's not your fault you don't feel safe" and it really hit home. After he left I told my boss about him, and, long story short, she and the building manager are going to look at the security footage to see if they recognize him, and then ban him from the building.
I hope it worked out for you. That sounds scary. Glad you found courage to talk with your boss. AJR’s music means so much for so many people, it’s nice to read their stories
@@starjuice1727 thanks so much. It did, they never found him in the building again but my dad talked to him at church and scared the heck out of him and he hasn't been back since. Actually, my parents told the entire security team at our church so there were a ton of people keeping an eye out for him until they found him. It's nice to know how many people I have willing to support me in situations like this. And I agree, AJR has helped a lot of people through a lot of stuff and I love to see it 😁
Those people who dislikes this song are either haters, a cold-hearted person or a person who sexually assaults a person before.
Message is important, and I’m glad people like this song.
I hit dislike because I don’t want the algorithm to put it in my music playlist, since I listened to it once and it doesn’t appeal to my personal tastes.
Ajr is more wholesome than holey water.
A song by one of my favorite bands about a cause I can get behind? Hell Yeah.
this. this is why i love ajr. they make music for the people who need reassurance and love. they made music for the lost, anxious, and depressed. however they can also make upbeat music and get people on their feet. i love them so. much.
i didnt expect this song to be what it was. i clicked on it cause i got bored at 1am.
ive been sexually harassed. manipualted, forced to do things i never wanna do things again. things ive been blamed and hurt about. this song actually made me burst into tears,,,
Nobody should ever have to go through that and honestly I am so sorry you have had to deal with that. It’s absolutely awful and honestly can be heartbreaking.
it reminds me of turning out
yeah dude! theyre both really beautiful songs :,0
Yep,I aggre!
Yeah ikr
JJ Reester this could technically be Turning out Pt. iii
@@theboogeyman2590 or Pt. 1.5 since it came out before Pt. ii haha
i came here thinking this was just another AJR song but before the chorus even came in i was hooked i knew i liked these boys for a reason
SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE A 1 HOUR REPEAT OF THIS SONG
IVE BEEN LOOKING EVERY WHERE FOR ONE!
All of AJR songs are always supportive , not only that it always remind us what to do in this life ...
i hope AJR always move on and make more and more songs ...
I love how you can listen to AJR songs and it's just like
"Wow, this song really means something."
That's it. Now I declare that I've become an official fan of 'em.
i love the beginning
This song always reminds me back to August of 2018 when the biggest change of my life happened and still to this day that year made my life go from a living hell to the lowest point I've ever been and I survived with the help of my best friend and girlfriend stick with me through thick and thin and we pulled out together and faught and survived to see today.
It's On Us and Turning Out are AJRs saddest but most important songs
This song is about the world pulling together to work through whatever we're dealing with
As a victim of sexual assault, this hits different. It makes me think about the people that helped me through it. Thank you AJR.
This just makes me think about my amazing online friends and that they live so far away but their also my best friends
My ex best friend just left me in the dust when i tried to help her when things were hard for her. And we had one of the best memories with this song. So everytime i hear this song it just makes me sad even though its such a good song...
I'M SHOOK THIS IS SO GOOD
This song is incredibly empowering. It reminds me that the world doesn’t suck. Thank you, AJR.
AJR does a really good job of reminding me that eventually, everything's gonna be okay
This song puts me in my feels
Never understood the song until now I was diagnosed with PTSD and the thing that are my “triggers” is a specific type of person and I hate it because it makes it hard to be friends with people but i finally understand the part that goes “it’s not your fault that you don’t feel safe” and I can truly appreciate this song now
Here before it goes viral!!! Anyone with me?!
yep
Waffle155 yes
Waffle155 yus
Waffle155 hey Johnny 😎
Miguel Farronay oh heyyy😂
This is such an inspiring song. I love it. "It's On Us" is a song about frinedship, love, and trust (not in a romantic way.)
I just love this.
Edit: A couple days ago I found out this song is about sexual harassment and abuse. I think this song is so important to victims of sexual assault and harassment. Even if you’re not a victim, this song is certainly a tear-dropper. As I’ve said before, I love it. I watched the music video and cried so much. The facts and quotes were honestly depressing. I’m so glad that there’s a song about this topic. I apologize if I sounded rude or stupid. I love this song. ❤️
Not gonna lie, this song gave me chills!
Only AJR can make a song about sexual harassment relate to a million other problems. They always manage to pack truth, advice, and emotion into songs you’d never expect to relate to. That’s why I admire them so much.
This hits really hard. I've never been sexually assaulted, but I have misophonia (For those who don't know, its a reaction to specific sounds- if you look it up you might get a better definition.), and the lines 'It's not your fault, you don't feel safe, it's not your fault so don't take blame' hits me in the feels because well, a *lot* of people have been telling me *'get over it, it's just something you can get past'* and *'it isn't real.'* *'you'll feel better soon enough.'* and really? all of the people who have ever been there are my friends.
It's just getting worse.
I have a friend that has this and I understand how this can affect you so you'll be ok and surround yourself with people who understand
I’m glad AJR can be by my side with me not even knowing it,and this song literally me because I can’t keep a hold of happiness.Also I want to let my crush know that I there for her even though I’m going through some tough times✌️✌️✌️
This song is beutiful, I cried because of the hurt, and emotion you can hear in the voice, his voice I suppose, especially in the corus.
"Though your trust is stolen
Though your heart is broken
You are never broken"
😢😭😭
I cry almost every single time I hear this song, it hits me so much especially with my mental health situation, AJR is my favorite band and they helped me so many times with their music. I am really greatful for that.
I haven't been happy lately idk why but when I heard this song on Spotify I feel in love I suddenly felt happy I'm in 8th grade and 8th grade has been the hardest the saddest the painfullest year yet and I feel like this song helps me feel better about myself feel better about school and just to hear the words "it's not your fault you don't feel safe it's not your fault so don't take blame" just makes me feel well like it's not my fault so i have sooooo much respect for this song so much love for it and everything😍❤️
Me and my best friend were listening to this and our hearts just sank ❤️❤️👌🏻✨
No. Fuck
Ngl this song for some reason is like a comfort song for me. Like thanks AJR, u made my world a little more safer and living
It's on us is the first song I've ever heard by them....and that's the day I fell in love with their songs! Ajr speaks my language of loud and calm! I love then so much!!!!!!! 😘
I love how this song can even speak towards mental health and things like that. Like even Autism Awareness and other things like that.
Even though this is about sexual assault it still helped me through a bad experience my freshman year of high school.
Freshman year I didn't have any friends in gym and my teacher kept forcing me to partner with this senior guy. The problem is I'm pretty mute and have a hard time speaking up, and this guy well... He had some issues. during gym class he'd constantly talk to me about his intimate life, and tell me about his intimate life in detail. He's be really graphic and make me uncomfortable no matter how many times I told him to shut up. After gym ended he'd follow me out of school and follow me down the halls whenever I left my locker (our lockers were next to each other). He started to watch me from a far every day and try to talk to me like before. I told my friends but they said I Was exaggerating and one day I found him hunched over my stuff smelling it and touching my bag. I was so scared but I didn't having any physical evidence against him being a creepy pervert so the school couldn't do anything but make teachers watch him.
I'm so glad he's graduated but I'm a junior now and I still can't go to my locker because of the fear I'd built up...
To think something could've happened, that he could've acted on his creepy behavior just... Ugh terrifies me.
I am so sorry. It’s awful not feeling safe in one of the places you should feel supported and protected.
Even after the 100th time listening to the song it still gives me chills in an 80 degree room
stars can't shine without darkness.
To anyone who has been raped: SPEAK OUT. It is not your fault. You are amazing, do not give up. #StopSexualAssault
Holden Wilson ok
I love you
Holden Wilson ok
i was raped i love my bestie she was raped too
Mikayla Underwood just figured out that my close friend got raped. And she thinks it’s her fault. It makes me so sad.
I have been sextorted not once, but twice. Each time, they followed at a time where my guard was down. I didn't think much of it at first, and things quickly turned seggsual. They asked for pictures of both my privates and face. Both times, I had no idea they screenshotted (because they used another phone). They threatened to leak the pictures, and asked for a large sum of money. I immediately blocked them and reported it, but I felt sick to my stomach: literally. I cried myself to sleep. But when I hear this song, I don't cry from pain. I cry from comfort. Anytime I remember those two nights, I put this song on and loop it. Thank you AJR for putting out this song.
ajr never disappoint
I used to not understand the song.... then I read the description and finally realized why the channel's name was the song's name and now I see this song from a completely different perspective.
AJR is the #1 band i swear to god lol all there songs are AMAZING lol and they are family friendly too unlike other artists. AJR keep up this amazing work! I LOVE YOU ALL i will be here to support you guys till the end i promise @AJR
O.o
ah yes, family friendly
Well they have cussing but at least they don’t have music about sex
Me too
I cry every time I listen to this song
Anyone who disliked this has no heart. It doesn’t matter if u like ajr or not, this song should stir your soul.
1 year ago my grandpas dog passed away and I stopped psting attention to him and he jumped in front of a car and I never had a chance to tell him I love him.love your family because they will be gone in a instant
Having been the victim of sexual assault, I don’t feel safe around the women I work with, this song is amazing.
What I love about AJR is that even if a song was meant for one thing, listeners can interpetrate in various ways. This song was about sexual assault, but you can also associate with depression, anxiety, etc
Depression sucks been dealing with it for years now and I’m only 18 that is what I thought of when I first heard this
I struggle with severe depression so this song gives me comfort and helps me feel as if I have someone walking through this with me. I helps me feel like someone gets me and is here for me.
Read this if you have ever felt alone, depressed, suicidal, lost, scared, worthless, abandoned, or anything of that nature, this is for you
You Are Beautiful.
You Are Wanted.
You Are Wonderful.
Don't quit on yourself. Don't hurt yourself. You are worth the world and nobody wants to see you suffering. This is not the end. The way you feel right now will pass. Peoples minds will change. Things WILL get better.
We love you and are always here for you. Do NOT do something permanent over something temporary.
You're better than that.
All stars need to see darkness before the light.
And always remember, Don't change so people will like you. Be yourself & the right people will find and love the real you.
Your
own
unique
Mindset
always
trys
to
engage in the
right ways
Now read the first letter of every word
You Matter! no matter what other people may say. Always know this is true. It helps. You are worth my time to write this. I do care.
This song makes me feel so safe. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your beautifully inspiring and supporting lyrics AJR, I have had too many terrible experiences were consent was absent and I need you to know that this kind of stuff is so so helpful.
Thank you
I found this song and I started bawling from past things that have happened to me. I feel like my friends are singing it to me and it hits home. Deeply so.
this SOS ng is literally my favorite. I cry over it many times. I know I'm a late commenter (6th July 2017😂😉) but I discovered this song about a week or two ago and its just relaxing and inspiring😭😭😭😭😍😍😍😍😘😘😘
