"Sugar, We're Goin Down" is a song by American rock band Fall Out Boy, released to US radio on April 4, 2005, as the lead single from their second album, From Under the Cork Tree . Two different CD singles were released with different B-sides, Part I with a green cover and Part II with a red cover. With music composed by vocalist Patrick Stump and lyrics penned by bassist Pete Wentz, the single reached No. 8 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Fall Out Boy's first top-10 hit and exploding the band into the mainstream, exposing them to a new audience. It spent five weeks in the top 10 and 20 weeks in the top 20 out of its 42 chart weeks.

The song became the band's first two-million seller in July 2009, [5] and as of February 2013, has sold 4,639,000 copies in the US. [6] It was upgraded to a 8× platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in November 2023. [7] On July 22, 2013, "Sugar, We're Goin Down" was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for 200,000 sales. [8]

Background

Stump told Rolling Stone that he deliberately slurred the lyrics in the song's chorus to make it sound better, saying that he "was trying to do a straight punk song for fun" and adding, "I saw those lyrics and just kind of barked them out. But there was something about the rhythm of it, where I was like, 'Hmm, that actually might be too good for just a shitty punk song.'" [9] Contrary to popular belief, instead of going through thirty versions before going back to the first one, Stump clarified the song went through countless rewrites until they landed on the final version which was chosen. [10]

The song appears on the karaoke games Lips (as downloadable content) and in Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol , and is also a playable song on Band Hero . It is in the 2005 film The Fog and its soundtrack. American country pop artist Taylor Swift covered "Sugar, We're Goin Down" at a concert on her 2011 Speak Now Tour in Chicago, [11] during which she would sing a cover of a song originally released by an artist from each tour stop. Hayley Williams joined Fall Out Boy onstage in 2014 to perform the song as part of a Super Bowl Blitz show. [12] The band themselves used a sample of the song in "What a Catch, Donnie" [13] and referenced it in "Save Rock and Roll", from the album of the same title. [14]

Chart performance

"Sugar, We're Goin Down" would rise and fall in inconsistent patterns. The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 on July 2, 2005, at No. 93 and rose each week. Eleven weeks later, on September 17, 2005, the song entered the top 10 at its peak of No. 8, [15] becoming Fall Out Boy's first top 10 single. At this point, the song did not have much airplay but had relied on the strength of digital downloads alone, and it experienced a sales surge following the band's performance at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards.[ citation needed ]

Following this download surge, however, downloads fell, and the song dropped to No. 15 the following week. During this time, though, mainstream radio support came in, and while downloads were falling, airplay was able to help stabilize the song. As a result, "Sugar" rose in the following weeks to be at either position No. 10 or 11. It spent five weeks in the top 10 and 20 weeks in the top 20, and in total stayed on the charts for 42 weeks before it was retired, making it the band's most successful single charting. The track peaked at No. 2 on the Hot Digital Songs chart and reached the top position on the Hot Digital Tracks chart. Its airplay peak was No. 18 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart. [16]

On the Pop 100 chart, "Sugar, We're Goin Down" displayed a slightly better performance. With the same digital download stats, but with an airplay panel to its advantage, the song reached a peak position of No. 6 on the Pop 100 with its component airplay, Pop 100 Airplay, being No. 6. In terms of total spins versus total impressions, the single also peaked at No. 6 on the Top 40 Mainstream chart. It reached No. 3 on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart and became a rock-radio staple. [17]

In the United Kingdom, the song first charted on January 15, 2006, at No. 54 before moving to just outside the top 20 at No. 24 on February 5. However, it continued rising in the charts in February, and entered the top 10 at its peak position of No. 8. As of 2013, the song has sold over 200,000 copies in the UK to date being certified silver. It remained in the top 75 of the UK Singles Chart for 21 weeks. [18]

Music video

The official music video for "Sugar, We're Goin Down" was directed by Matt Lenski. [19] The music video is about a boy who has deer antlers on his head. While he is walking around, a younger boy throws a shirt at one of his antlers. While he is sitting at a cemetery and eating, a kite falls onto his antlers and a girl tries to recover it. The girl meets the boy and they become friends. The girl's father is not happy with his daughter in a relationship with a boy who has deer antlers and asks him to leave his daughter alone. Frustrated, the boy decides to try to cut off his antlers with a variety of tools, but is stopped by the girl. Later, the couple goes to a bowling alley. When the girl's father sees his daughter with the boy again, he decides to try to shoot the boy with a bow and arrow, but fails as a car rams into him. The boy tries to help the father and notices that the father's feet are deer hooves. The father then lets his daughter be with the boy. The music video also frequently cuts to scenes of the band members performing the song. [20]

Reception and legacy

Blender ranked "Sugar, We're Goin Down" at No. 4 on their "100 Greatest Songs of 2005" list [21] and About.com placed the song at No. 3 on their "Top 100 Pop Songs of 2005" list. [22] It was also nominated for the Kerrang! Award for Best Single in 2006. In 2009, Phoenix New Times writer Martin Cizmar wrote that "Sugar, We're Goin Down" was possibly "the most listened-to emo track of all time". [23]

Music critics have retrospectively considered "Sugar, We're Goin' Down" as a seminal, genre-shaping song within pop punk and emo. In 2015, Billboard ranked the song number six on their list of the 10 greatest Fall Out Boy songs. [24] In 2020, Alternative Press called "Sugar, We're Goin' Down" one of the most influential pop punk songs of all time, stating that the song "shaped the genre," was "a lyrically abstract masterpiece that gave subsequent bands an excuse to write creatively" and that it was "a game-changer." [25] In 2021, Kerrang ranked the song number four on their list of the 20 greatest Fall Out Boy songs. [26] Also in 2021, Rolling Stone ranked "Sugar, We're Goin Down" at 443 on their amended list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time," noting that the song "signaled a sea change – emo, which had roots in confessional hardcore punk, had grown into a new and often highly theatrical kind of arena rock." [27] Variety ranked it as one of the 25 best emo songs of all time in 2022. [28]

Pop-punk is a rock music fusion genre that combines elements of punk rock with power pop or pop. It is defined by its fast-paced, energetic tempos, and emphasis on classic pop songcraft, as well as adolescent and anti-suburbia themes. It is distinguished from other punk-variant genres by drawing more heavily from 1960s bands such as the Beatles, the Kinks, and the Beach Boys. The genre has evolved throughout its history, absorbing elements from new wave, college rock, ska, rap, emo, boy band pop and even hardcore punk. It is sometimes considered interchangeable with power pop and skate punk.

Alternative Airplay is a music chart in the United States that has appeared in Billboard magazine since September 10, 1988. It ranks the 40 most-played songs on alternative and modern rock radio stations. Introduced as Modern Rock Tracks, the chart served as a companion to the Mainstream Rock chart, and its creation was prompted by the explosion of alternative music on American radio in the late 1980s. During the first several years of the chart, it regularly featured music that did not receive commercial radio airplay anywhere but on a few modern rock and college rock radio stations. This included many electronic and post-punk artists. Gradually, as alternative rock became more mainstream, alternative and mainstream rock radio stations began playing many of the same songs. By the late 2000s, the genres became more fully differentiated with only limited crossover. The Alternative Airplay chart features more alternative rock, indie pop, and pop punk artists while the Mainstream Rock chart leans towards more guitar-tinged blues rock, hard rock, and heavy metal.
