And on, and on, and on, and on, and on

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning since the world's been turning

Pete Wentz explained on Twitter how "We Didn't Start The Fire" came about, "I thought about this song a lot when I was younger. All these important people and events- some that disappeared into the sands of time- others that changed the world forever. So much has happened in the span of the last 34 years- we felt like a little system update might be fun. Hope you like our take on it…" Fall Out Boy's cover of Billy Joel's classic was released on the 28th of June, 2023. The original song mentioned events, places and people between 1949 and 1989, but unlike the original, Fall Out Boy's version doesn't follow the chronological order.
