Remember Fall Out Boy? You know, that band from the early 2000s that sang "Sugar, We're Goin Down" and introduced us to Pete Wentz? Well, they're back!
After a four year hiatus, Patrick Stump, Joe Trohman, Andy Hurley and Wentz have reunited with a new album and tour, and have already released their first single (including a video).
The boys made the announcement on their website on Monday, posting the message:
"when we were kids the only thing that got us through most days was music. its why we started fall out boy in the first place. this isn't a reunion because we never broke up. we needed to plug back in and make some music that matters to us.
the future of fall out boy starts now.
save rock and roll..."
The title of the first single is "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)," from their upcoming fifth studio album, Save Rock and Roll, which drops May 7th. The guys hit the road on May 14th.
Watch the video from the first single and check out the lyrics to the song below. Are you excited that Fall Out Boy is back? Let us know!
LYRICS
be careful making wishes in the dark
can't be sure when they've hit their mark
besides in the meantime I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart
im in the details with the devil
so now the world can never get me on my level
i just got to get you out of the cage
im a young lovers rage
gonna need a spark to ignite
my songs know what you did in the dark
light em up
I'm on fire
all the writers keep writing what they write
somewhere another pretty vein just dies
I've got the scars from tomorrow and i wish you could see
that you're the antidote to everything except me
a constellation of tears on your lashes
burn everything you love
then burn the ashes
in the end everything collides
my childhood spat back the monster that you see
my songs know what you did in the dark
light em up
I'm on fire
