Track DescriptionAvailable in:
"Champion" is a song by American rock band Fall Out Boy, released on June 22, 2017 in the US and on June 23 worldwide through Island Records and DCD2. It was released as the second single from their seventh studio album, Mania. A visualizer was released with the song, and a music video followed on July 28. While Fall Out Boy's previous single, "Young and Menace", was considered to be a major departure from their usual sound, "Champion" brought back some familiar elements from their more recent albums while still experimenting with new ideas. It was co-written with pop singer-songwriter Sia.
The band first performed the song live on Late Night with Seth Meyers on July 26, 2017 to promote the album.
A remix of the song featuring South Korean rapper RM was released as a single on December 15, 2017.
A remix, featuring rapper RM of BTS was released worldwide on December 15 at midnight across all major music streaming sites. Billboard praised the collaboration, saying "...the remix offers up a grittier, hip-hop vibe thanks to a mellow tonal shift and RM’s evocative raps about the hardships of life. Like the original, the remix contains an inspirational, empowering message -- something Fall Out Boy and BTS both often incorporate into their music." FUSE described the new sound as "going from rocking anthem to something of an electronic-pop burner" while Bustle said the revamped track "keeps Fall Out Boy's pop rock melodies intact, but weaves in some hip-hop flair with a guest verse from RM". The remix debuted at number 18 on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart for the chart dated January 6, 2018 and also landed on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, peaking at number two for the week of January 3, 2018, beating the band's previous peak position of number four with the original version.
