Up to Date was a free 12-track sampler mostly containing music from Dial-A-Song (2015), that was released on NoiseTrade on November 29, 2017 alongside an interview with John Flansburgh.

The sampler originally included "Last Wave" as its 13th track, but it was removed from the download a few hours later. The song had its intentional debut a few days later on YouTube on December 1, 2017.

NoiseTrade's description of the sampler:

2018 is already shaping up to be a big year for They Might Be Giants with their Dial-A-Song service back in action, a brand new album, and a 75-city world tour! It's time for you to catch up with these Brooklyn originals. Here's an adult-sized portion of recent recording efforts for your listening pleasure as well as A BRAND NEW SONG!
