Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about America's Suitehearts. By Songfacts®.

This was the first song written for Folie a Deux, the band's fourth studio album. In fact, it was penned prior to Fall Out Boy's 2007 album, Infinity On High. Singer Patrick Stump told AbsolutePunk: "It pre-dates Infinity I think, but it took so long to get it into the right shape, and then it was done. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. And there's no guarantee that those songs won't ever see light of day."

This was originally called "America's Sweethearts" after a line in the chorus, but Pete Wentz's love for a punning title won out.

Bassist and lyricist Pete Wentz explained this song to MTV News: "We have become a culture that really, really likes to build people up... and we really do have this standard of morality that's insane, but [at the same time] we want to know what goes on behind closed doors. We want to shun celebrities and then build them back up. But it's going on in your neighborhood, too. And that's what the song is about. It says that we've created this snowball of culture where we chase Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and their 21,000 kids around the world. But the Jolie-Pitts are smart, because they're building their own army so one day they'll just beat us."
