Interesting facts and trivia about Save Rock And Roll. By Songfacts®.

This is the title track of Fall Out Boy's fifth album, the American Pop-Punk band's first release since coming out of a four-year hiatus. The song features a vocal contribution from British rock legend, Elton John. "He actually sings the words 'rock and roll' in one of the lyrics, Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz told Billboard magazine, "and it blew my mind. He sings it like somebody who experienced rock 'n' roll in the '70s. It's just a different view of what it is, even how it comes off the tongue. And just for him to engage with a band like us and say, yeah, your album should be called Save Rock And Roll—it was awesome and really fulfilling."

The Save Rock and Roll artwork features a photo taken by Roger Stonehouse in Myanmar of two young boys. One of them is wearing traditional monk robes, the other is clad in jeans and a T-shirt and smoking a cigarette. "We came across the punk and monk image on the Internet and it really solidified what we were trying to get across on the record: The idea of old and new clashing. Tradition and change coming together," FOB wrote about the cover on their official site. "Obviously this is an image that means a lot to many people ... these kids represent the youth, change and irreverence that we hope our record is listen to with."

The song contains an interpolation of Fall Out Boy's own "Chicago Is So Two Years Ago," which was first released on the band's 2003 debut album Take This to Your Grave.
