"These Hard Times" is the second single (worldwide except Australia) from Matchbox Twenty's retrospective collection, Exile on Mainstream.
The video premiered on iTunes on Tuesday, Feb. 5. It was released to Australian radio during the week of April 13. It is a follow-up to "All Your Reasons", which was released only in Australia.
In the United States, the single has performed disappointingly, failing to chart the Billboard Hot 100. However, it has reached the Top Ten of the Adult Top 40.
[edit] Music video
The video features the band playing in the street in front of what appears to be a warehouse. Many people pass by as if nothing is happening. Near the end of the song, several colored balloons come out of a gutter and the warehouse's doors open, letting more and more balloons out. All the people seen in the video stop and look upwards to the balloons. The video ends when the band stops playing and stares at the balloons as well.
