After lengthy touring in support of ''Bleed American'', the band regrouped to work on the follow-up in early 2004. Once again, the band joined up with Trombino, but the collaboration was short lived. As the sessions began, the band decided that they did not have enough material for a cohesive album. The band's desire to spend more time writing songs conflicted with Trombino's availability, who already had other projects on his schedule.<ref name="henderson">{{cite web |last=Henderson |first=Steve |url=http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=258417 |title=Jimmy Eat World&nbsp;— 07.27.07 |work=Absolute Punk |date=August 10, 2007 }}</ref>

Instead, the band brought in producer [[Gil Norton]], well known for his work with the [[Pixies (band)|Pixies]] and the [[Foo Fighters]]. Lind explained in 2007, "After we left the studio with Trombino, we came up with 'Polaris', 'Work', 'Pain', [and] '23' – the songs that really gave ''Futures'' its heartbeat."<ref name="henderson"/> ''[[Futures (album)|Futures]]'' was released in October 2004, with "Pain" serving as the lead single. (By this time, DreamWorks had been acquired by [[Interscope Records]].)

Subsequent months saw the release of "Work" and the title track as singles. Having already toured the US alone and with [[Taking Back Sunday]], the band signed on to tour in 2005 with [[Green Day]]. In September 2005, the band released the ''[[Stay on My Side Tonight]]'' EP, which contained reworked versions of demos recorded with producer Mark Trombino that were not used for the album.<ref name="henderson"/> The album was eventually awarded Gold status in the US by the RIAA.<ref name="RIAA"/>
