This features British singer-songwriter Elvis Costello, Travis McCoy from Gym Class Heroes, Gabe Saporta from Cobra Starship, William Beckett from The Academy Is..., Brendon Urie from Panic at the Disco, Doug Neuman from Doug and Alex DeLeon from The Cab. The artists, who apart from Costello are all on Pete Wentz's Decaydence record label, sing lines from other Fall Out Boy numbers.
The songs they quote from are as follows:
Elvis Costello - " Travis McCoy - "Sugar We're Going Down"
Gabe Saporta - "Grand Theft Autumn"
William Beckett - "Growing Up"
Brendon Urie - "Dance, Dance"
Doug Neuman - "This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race"
Alex Deleon - "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs"
Stump explained to AbsolutePunk why this is probably his favorite song on Folie a Deux. "It's a really interesting thing where Pete was kind of writing in a character, and the weird thing is that it's like me, it's as if I wrote the lyrics,
but I didn't. And I'm not being narcissistic, it's really cool,
like it's impressive to me how well he has me figured out,
so it just made me respect him that much more as a writer.
It's weird, it felt like I sat down and wrote a confessional song,
but I didn't. It feels like that to me, but I didn't.
I was writing off of Pete's lyrics, but it's as if I was confessing through them."
