Mania is the upcoming seventh studio album by Fall Out Boy, set to be released on January 19, 2018, by Island Records and DCD2 as the follow-up to their 2015 album, American Beauty/American Psycho. Mania was originally scheduled for a release on September 15, 2017, worldwide. However, on August 3, 2017, Patrick Stump announced that the record would be pushed back until January 19, 2018.

“The album just really isn’t ready, and it felt very rushed,” Stump said on Twitter. “I’m never going to put a record out I genuinely don’t believe is at least as strong or valid as the one that came before it and in order to do that we need a little bit more time to properly and carefully record solid performances.”

The band was eager to announce on social media on November 6th, 2017 that the album had been completed and they were quick to reveal the tracklist.

 

The lead single, “Young and Menace”, was released on April 27, 2017. The song has a notable influence from the EDM genre, hinting at another progression of the band’s sound with the album. The second single, “Champion” was released on June 22 in the U.S. and on June 23 worldwide. The third single, “The Last of the Real Ones”, was released on September 14, 2017. The fourth single, “Hold Me Tight or Don’t”, was released on November 15 “Wilson (Expensive Mistakes)” was released as the fifth single, accompanied with its music video premiere on January 11, 2018. Part of the Mania Tour they went on back in October of 2017 featured a song that was previously unreleased but is now going to be featured on the album titled “Wilson (Expensive Mistakes)”
