Background

[edit | edit source]

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 | edit source]

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]
