"Centuries" kicked off the American Beauty/American Psycho era for Fall Out Boy, arriving on September 9, 2014 as the first single from the band's sixth studio album. It's an arena-sized stomp built with producer J.R. Rotem and co-producer Omega, and the writing credits run long: the band, Rotem, Michael Fonseca, Raja Kumari, Justin Tranter and, intriguingly, Suzanne Vega. Jake Sinclair added production and engineering, LOLO sings additional vocals, and Mark "Spike" Stent mixed.
It put the band back in the Hot 100's top 10 for the first time in eight years, their fourth visit there and the first since "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" in 2007, went quadruple platinum and topped the UK Rock and Metal Chart. A gladiator-themed video followed, and ESPN adopted it as the official theme for its sports coverage.
