Songfacts®:

  • This features former Blondie vocalist Debbie Harry.
  • In a video interview, Wentz told the New Musical Express that he feels particularly close to this track as he has "seen so many friends get to precipices on something and then not step off and they end up falling off and it's not very delicate living."
  • Debbie Harry is one of many prominent guest stars on Folie à Deux, the band's fourth studio album. Others include Elvis Costello ("What a Catch, Donnie"), Lil Wayne ("Tiffany Blews"), Pharrell Williams ("w.a.m.s."), and Brendon Urie of Panic At The Disco ("What A Catch, Donnie," "20 Dollar Nose Bleed").
  • This was the third Fall Out Boy album produced by Neal Avron, whose first outing with the band was their 2005 breakthrough, From Under The Cork Tree. For their fifth album, 2013's Save Rock And Roll, they swapped Avron for Butch Walker.
