This song is featured on Fall Out Boy's third studio album, Infinity On High, as a bonus track. The song is about a guy who becomes obsessed with his ex, and is afraid to call her: "Things aren't the same anymore, sometimes it gets so bad that I almost pick up the phone."
The title stands for Gay Is Not A Synonym For S--tty, which takes aim at people who use "gay" as a homophobic insult. Fall Out Boy is known for their unique song titles and this one remains one of Pete Wentz's favorites. The bass player/lyricist told 1883 Magazine: "I think it really holds true today, like people will just go 'that's gay' and that's not cool, it's important to use language that's non-offensive to other groups and I’m really proud of that one."
