Perennial music-makers Fall Out Boy have a knack for constructing happy dance songs around sad situations, found on full display once again with the So Much (For) Stardust [out now] standout “What A Time To Be Alive.”

A snapshot of post-pandemic life juxtaposed against a lively pop-rock backdrop is the track’s hook, engaging ears with a vibrant soundscape before a lyrical unease begins to emerge. Its in that mismatch that the track finds its voice amongst the chaos, carving out a sonic space to forget about the bullshit and just be.

What a time to be a FOB fan.
