My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark.

Fall Out Boy is an American rock band formed in Wilmette
,
Illinois, a suburb of
Chicago in 2001. The band consists of vocalist/guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist Pete Wentz, guitarist Joe
Trohman, and drummer Andy Hurley. The band's first public performance came in a cafeteria at DePaul
University alongside Stilwell and another group that performed Black Sabbath in its entirety. The band's only performance with guitarist John
Flamandan and original drummer Ben Rose was in retrospect described as "goofy" and
"bad," but Trohman made an active effort to make the band work, picking up members for practice. The band had been flooded with "hyperbolic praise," and deemed "the next big thing" by multiple media outlets. The band was nameless for their first two shows. At the end of their second show, they asked the audience to give them a name. One audience member suggested "Fallout
Boy", a reference to the sidekick of the character Radioactive Man from The Simpsons. On
January 25, 2009, Fall Out Boy would play the theme ending on The Simpsons. "My Songs
Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)" is a song written and recorded by
American rock band Fall Out Boy, released as the lead single for their fifth studio album,

Save Rock And Roll.
It serves as the band's comeback single following their three­year

breaking up and regrouping in early 2013.
The track and its music video were released on February 4, 2013 worldwide and
February 5, 2013 in North America, to coincide with the official news of the band's reformation. The band felt that the song best represented their album at its core. The group was formed by Wentz and Trohman as a pop punk side project of their respective hardcore bands, and Stump joined shortly thereafter. When I listen to this song it makes me do better in video games. I dont know why or how it does, but it helps me in FPS games. With singles "Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy" and "Saturday" receiving video airplay on FUSE, mtvU and Target's in­store video stream and radio airplay on mainstream stations across the country, the album sold very well and eventually achieved
Gold status, but only after the success of the band's next album, From Under the Cork Tree.
Their first single, "Sugar, We're Goin Down", peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100, #6 on the Pop 100, and #3 on the Modern Rock Charts. The video reached #1 on MTV's TRL, where it was retired on August 26, 2005. The video won the MTV2 Award at the 2005
MTV Video Music Awards, prompting a huge new interest and surge in sales. The band was also nominated for "Best New Artist" at the 2006 Grammy Awards.

The lyric which the song's title is taken from originates from an unrelated 2004
demo
