Their second album, Let's Cheers to This, was released in 2011 and became a breakout for the band, thanks to the popular single "If You Can't Hang", which was certified Gold on July 18, 2018, by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling 500,000 copies in the US.{{Cite web|url=https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=default-award&se=Sleeping+with+Sirens#search_section|title = Gold & Platinum|website = Recording Industry Association of America}} The group's third album, Feel, debuted at No. 3 on the US Billboard 200, and a fourth album, entitled Madness, was released on March 17, 2015, through Epitaph Records and spawned the single "Kick Me". Their fifth studio album, Gossip, was released on September 22, 2017, on Warner Bros. Records. Their sixth studio album, How It Feels to Be Lost, was released on September 6, 2019, through Sumerian Records.
