Writing and recording
On the album's recording process, the band collectively stated in a Facebook post that “in the winter of 2014 we started writing our second full length record. In the beginning of the writing process the songs quickly fell into a special place. As time went on we finished more songs. The songs became attached to us unlike any other material we had written before. There was just something about these. They just felt right when we played them”. The band then went to record in January 2016 but “didn’t really tell anyone. We wanted to put all of our efforts into it without distractions. It was honestly the hardest thing we have ever done. We were pushed to our limits. We were brought closer together as a band. We couldn’t be happier with the results.” Real Friends finished recording their second full-length album on the road, in February 2016.
Release
Fearless Records announced that a new Real Friends record would be released on their label in 2016, through a post on their official Twitter account, which was made on December 22, 2015. Prior to the album's announcement, the band began to play a new song entitled "Colder Quicker" during their live sets. On April 1, 2016, the band announced the title of their new album as being The Home Inside My Head, along with the album's release date, cover art and track listing. Additionally, on the same day the band released a music video for the first single from their upcoming album, "Colder Quicker". The album was released on May 27, 2016. Vinyl editions came with download cards where people could download the album with the band's cover the This Wild Life song "Looking Back" as a bonus track. The Target and European editions of the album included two bonus tracks: "I Was Blind the Whole Time" and "Seed".
From mid October to late November, the band supported The Wonder Years on their tour of the U.S. The band are set to go on a headlining tour of the UK in December with support from Knuckle Puck and With Confidence.
