Track Description

"Sugar, We're Goin Down" is the title of a song by American rock band Fall Out Boy. It was released in April 2005 as the lead single from their third 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. 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." During the writing of the song it went through thirty changes and then went back to the way it first started.

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" number four their "The 100 Greatest Songs of 2005" list and About.com placed the song at number three on their "Top 100 Pop Songs of 2005" list. It was also nominated for the Kerrang! Award for Best Single in 2006.

The song has so far sold more than two-million digital downloads in the United States (as of week ending July 5, 2009), becoming the band's first two-million seller and is certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting the shipment of two-million units.

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 soundtrack of the 2005 film The Fog. American country pop artist Taylor Swift covered "Sugar, We're Goin Down" at a concert on her 2011 Speak Now Tour in Chicago.
