"Sugar, We're Goin Down" is a song by American rock band Fall Out Boy. "Sugar, We're Goin Down" was released to radio on April 5, 2005[4] as the lead single from their second album, From Under the Cork Tree (2005). With the music composed by lead vocalist and guitarist Patrick Stump and all 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 before it was retired.
Two different CD singles were released with different B-sides, Part I with a green cover and Part II with a red cover. Blender ranked "Sugar, We're Goin Down" at number four on their "100 Greatest Songs of 2005" list[5] and About.com placed the song at number three on their "Top 100 Pop Songs of 2005" list.[6] It was also nominated for the Kerrang! Award for Best Single in 2006.
The song became the band's first two-million seller in July 2009,[7] and as of February 2013, has sold 4,639,000 copies in the US.[8] It was upgraded to a 4x Platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in February 2015.[1] On July 22, 2013, "Sugar, We're Goin Down" was certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for 200,000 sales.[9]
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".

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.'"[11] During the writing of the song it went through thirty changes and then went back to the way it first started.[12]
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,[13] 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.[14] The band themselves used a sample of the song in "What a Catch, Donnie"[15] and referenced it in "Save Rock and Roll", from the album of the same title.

"The Middle" is a song by the American alternative rock band Jimmy Eat World. It was released in November 2001 as the second single of their fourth album Bleed American. It was a top five Billboard Hot 100 hit in 2002. The song was a breakthrough hit for Jimmy Eat World (who had self-financed the recording of the Bleed American album after having been dropped by Capitol Records in 1999).

"The Middle" was written after Jimmy Eat World had been dropped from Capitol Records after their previous album Clarity had been released. Their second album Static Prevails had sold just 10,000 copies in 1996 and Capitol Records decided to drop the band in 1999 due to a change in priorities. Singer/guitarist Jim Adkins explained to the Dallas Observer: "We were just about invisible there and it wasn't going to get any better."[1]
"The Middle" reflects these trying times for the band with lyrics about "Don't write yourself off yet" when feeling "left out or looked down on."[2] The band decided to finance the recording of the album and decided to keep things simple on the new record rather than experiment, as they had done on previous records. "On our new stuff, rather than challenging ourselves [by] getting real experimental, we kind of went in the other direction, challenging ourselves by getting very simple."[1]
Once completed, Jimmy Eat World took Bleed American to record companies and was signed to DreamWorks Records. Bleed American was released in the middle of 2001 with the title track as the lead single. However, following the September 11 attacks the album's title was changed to Jimmy Eat World and the lead single failed to win airplay, although it reached the top 20 of the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks.
The song has been characterized under genres such as alternative rock, pop punk, and power pop.
