So Much (for) Stardust Songwriting Credits by Fall Out Boy

So Much (for) Stardust is the eighth studio album by Fall Out Boy, released in March 2023 on Virgin Music Group and produced by Neal Avron. It was a return to the rock and pop-punk foundations of From Under the Cork Tree after the electronic experiments of Mania, with Avron producing his fourth Fall Out Boy album and a deliberate reconnection with the melodic rock approach that had built the band's original audience. Stump and Wentz wrote all material; 'Love from the Other Side,' 'Heartbreak Feels So Good,' and 'The Kintsugi Kid' were the principal singles, with the guitar-forward production and emotional lyrical content reflecting a conscious return to the band's core creative identity. The album debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 and received the most positive critical reviews since American Beauty/American Psycho. So Much (for) Stardust is regarded as a genuine creative recovery and the most satisfying expression of the Fall Out Boy formula since the band's early Island Records peak. The album's warm critical reception and commercial performance confirmed that the Fall Out Boy audience, built on the emotional confessionalism of the Stump/Wentz partnership, remained responsive to the band's core creative strengths when they were expressed through the rock-forward production that had originally made them famous.
