Fall Out Boy have put fans out of their misery by finally unveils their huge new single, 'Centuries'. Check it out below.
After teasing fans with a 'blackout' on Facebook and Twitter last week, the band dropped the new track as Zane Lowe's Hottest Record In The World on his BBC Radio One show last night (Monday 8 September), with the ever-enthusiastic DJ playing the song three times.
Staying true to classic Fall Out Boy, 'Centuries' plays with a foundation hip-hop beats and playful pop hooks (including a nod to 'Tom's Diner' by Susanne Vega) all beneath a soaring arena-rock ready vocal. Wave those flags and get your hands in the air, Fall Out Boy fans.

Speaking of the track, bassist Pete Wentz said: "We never had a plan to jump right back into it after the whirlwind year we’ve had…but sometimes the song calls you. We started writing “Centuries" while we were on tour. Traveling the world for the last year we have seen, and been a part of, the landscape and fabric of music - from tiny sweaty clubs in Australia to insanely huge festivals in the UK.
"It felt impossible not to react to it, to be inspired and to want to scream back. Like The Great One said, 'You miss 100% of the shots you don't take'. We don’t feel any urge to turn the clock back; we crave something new, our place in it all. That some kids from the Middle of Nowhere, USA can make a mark or will scream long enough until the world listens is amazing - but it’s all just to prove to the next kid that she can pick up a guitar and know that it is a weapon."
He added: "Make no mistake, 'Centuries' is, at its most distilled, the story of David & Goliath. It is us passing along the story of how we feel right before we step on stage, trading feeling small and human for all the sweat and grit and sheer power of belief it takes to stare down a giant. Sometimes wrongs are righted. Sometimes if you scream loud enough the world will listen. Sometimes the quintessential loser wins. Sometimes the giant falls."
