Mania Songwriting Credits by Fall Out Boy

Mania is the seventh studio album by Fall Out Boy, released in January 2018 on Island Records and produced by Illangelo, Zakk Cervini, and others. It is the most experimental and pop-electronic album of the catalog, drawing on synthpop, dance music, and contemporary pop production in a way that divided critics and fans who had followed the band since the emo era. Stump and Wentz wrote all material; 'Champion,' 'Young and Menace,' and 'The Last of the Real Ones' were the principal tracks, with the production reflecting influences from electronic dance music rather than rock. The album was delayed multiple times from its original 2017 release date as the band reworked material; it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 118,000 first-week units and has been certified platinum. Mania is regarded by critics as the most uneven of the catalog and the album on which the pop expansion reached a commercial and artistic limit. Despite the critical and fan division it generated, Mania's willingness to embrace experimental production at the cost of commercial predictability demonstrates the band's ongoing commitment to creative risk-taking even as their catalog and fanbase were sufficiently established to support a more conservative artistic strategy.
