Fall Out Boy - This ain t a scene it s an arms race album cover | |||||||||||||||
"This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" is the first single from pop rock band Fall Out Boy's album Infinity on High. It was first played on November 16, 2006 on Indianapolis radio station 93.1, and leaked onto the Internet soon after. It was officially debuted on November 21 at the American Music Awards and was shipped to radio stations on that night (with an expected impact date of December 5 in the United States).
The song is reportedly about lyricist/bassist Pete Wentz's frustration with the ever growing 'emo scene'. As he told Rolling Stone, "There may be other songs on the record that would be bigger radio hits, but this one had the right message." Wentz got the idea for the arms-dealer metaphor from the Lord of War movie. The song consists of a disco/rock sound during the verse and bridge, which is then followed up with a more pop-punk style chorus. The website that bassist Pete Wentz promotes, FriendsorEnemies.com, made "This Ain’t a Scene, It's an Arms Race" available to the internet community on November 17, just after its radio debut in Indianapolis. The single was released as a CD single and also as a 7" blue vinyl and 7" purple vinyl. There is an official remix featuring Kanye West. | |||||||||||||||
