"Love from the Other Side" is a song by American rock band Fall Out Boy, released on January 18, 2023, through Fueled by Ramen and DCD2. It was released as the lead single from the band's eighth studio album, So Much (for) Stardust.

Background

[edit]

In December 2022, the band released began teasing a new song with claymation animation. The band also created a website called sendingmylovefromtheotherside.com.[1] "Love from the Other Side" was announced on January 11, 2023.[2][3][4] The song was released on January 18 and the band confirmed the album title, So Much (for) Stardust, and release date for March 24, 2023.[5][6][7][8] The song marks a return to releasing music under Fueled by Ramen, with their last release under the label being Take This to Your Grave.[5][6][7][8] It was also announced that the song and album were produced by Neal Avron, making it the first time Fall Out Boy had worked with him since Folie à Deux.[5][6][7]

Vocalist Patrick Stump discussed choosing the song as the lead single:

“I don’t know (laughs). I was surprised when that got suggested. Management were like, ‘Other Side!’ and I was like, ‘Really?!’ Label were like, ‘Other Side!” I was like, ‘Really?!’ I guess I assumed that it was not streamlined enough or pop enough, and I assumed it had to be more straight ahead or something... so I was really happy when everybody picked the song. It’s kinda become a running gag that I don’t know what ‘the’ song is. Any time I'm like, ‘I love that song! That’s the song!’ Everyone’s like, ‘Eeeeh, yeah it's okay…’”[9]

On the same day the song was released, lead guitarist Joe Trohman announced that he would be taking a break from the band to focus on his mental health, and would return to the band in the future.[10][11][12]

Composition

[edit]

Jack Rogers of Rock Sound described the song as "a guitar-driven piece of modern pop-rock brilliance."[13] Gil Kaufman of Billboard felt the song had "pop-punk energy".[2] Alessandro DeCaro of Alternative Press described the song as "anthemic rock", harkening back to the band's earlier material, such as Infinity on High and Folie à Deux.[14] Taylor Ruckle of Flood Magazine called the song "transcendent symphonic rock."[15]
