Infinity on High broadened Fall Out Boy's sound with R&B and pop touches, with Pete Wentz on lyrics and Patrick Stump on music. Babyface produced two tracks and Jay-Z gives a spoken intro on Thriller, as the band moved from pop-punk toward mainstream pop-rock.
Infinity on High is the third studio album by Fall Out Boy, released in February 2007 on Island Records and produced by Neal Avron and Babyface. It was a deliberate pop expansion built on the commercial breakthrough of From Under the Cork Tree, featuring an introduction spoken by Jay-Z and guest appearances from Lil Wayne, Natasha Bedingfield, and others. Stump and Wentz wrote all material; 'This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race,' 'Thnks fr th Mmrs,' and 'The Take Over, the Breaks Over' were the principal singles. 'This Ain't a Scene' spent 12 weeks at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 260,000 first-week sales, the band's first number-one album. Infinity on High has been certified triple platinum in the United States and marked the peak of the band's commercial performance in their original run before the hiatus and reformation that would follow the next album. The album's commercial peak (the first Fall Out Boy number-one debut) reflected the full translation of the band's creative identity into mainstream commercial success, and its guest collaborations demonstrated that the emo underground origin could coexist with hip-hop and mainstream pop cultural references without compromising the songwriting core.
