Background

In December 2022, the band released began teasing a new song with claymation animation. The band also created a website called sendingmylovefromtheotherside.com. [1] "Love from the Other Side" was announced on January 11, 2023. [2] [3] [4] The song was released on January 18 and the band confirmed the album title, So Much (for) Stardust , and release date for March 24, 2023. [5] [6] [7] [8] The song marks a return to releasing music under Fueled by Ramen, with their last release under the label being Take This to Your Grave . [5] [6] [7] [8] It was also announced that the song and album were produced by Neal Avron, making it the first time Fall Out Boy had worked with him since Folie à Deux . [5] [6] [7]

Vocalist Patrick Stump discussed choosing the song as the lead single:

“I don’t know (laughs). I was surprised when that got suggested. Management were like, ‘Other Side!’ and I was like, ‘Really?!’ Label were like, ‘Other Side!” I was like, ‘Really?!’ I guess I assumed that it was not streamlined enough or pop enough, and I assumed it had to be more straight ahead or something... so I was really happy when everybody picked the song. It’s kinda become a running gag that I don’t know what ‘the’ song is. Any time I'm like, ‘I love that song! That’s the song!’ Everyone’s like, ‘Eeeeh, yeah it's okay…’” [9]

On the same day the song was released, lead guitarist Joe Trohman announced that he would be taking a break from the band to focus on his mental health, and would return to the band in the future. [10] [11] [12]

Composition

Jack Rogers of Rock Sound described the song as "a guitar-driven piece of modern pop-rock brilliance." [13] Gil Kaufman of Billboard felt the song had "pop-punk energy". [2] Alessandro DeCaro of Alternative Press described the song as "anthemic rock", harkening back to the band's earlier material, such as Infinity on High and Folie à Deux . [14]

<i>Take This to Your Grave</i> 2003 studio album by Fall Out Boy

Take This to Your Grave is the debut studio album by American rock band Fall Out Boy, released on May 6, 2003, by Fueled by Ramen. When the band was signed to Island Records, the label employed an unusual strategy that allowed them to sign with independent label Fueled by Ramen for their debut and later move to Island for their second album. Sean O'Keefe had helped with the band's demo, and they returned to Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin to record the bulk of their first album with him. Living on a stranger's floor for part of the time and running out of money halfway through, the band recorded seven songs in nine days, bringing them together with the additional three from the demo.

Fall Out Boy's Evening Out with Your Girlfriend is the debut mini-LP and the second extended play (EP) by American rock band Fall Out Boy.

Fall Out Boy's Evening Out with Your Girlfriend was released in 2003 through Uprising Records against the band's wishes.

It eventually sold over 127,000 copies in the United States by August 2008, according to Billboard.
