Fall Out Boy called in Haitian rapper Wyclef Jean for "Dear Future Self (Hands Up)", which went out on DCD2 and Island on September 10, 2019, as a single from the compilation Greatest Hits: Believers Never Die – Volume Two. The hook comes from an unexpected place, a sample of Inna's "Hands Up" under the chorus, and the band share the writing with Jean, Jens Siverstedt, Jonas Wallin and Noonie Bao. The whole thing is over in 2 minutes and 51 seconds.

The compilation landed nearly ten years after the band's first hits set, Believers Never Die – Greatest Hits, from 2009, and its announcement arrived together with news of the Hella Mega Tour with Green Day and Weezer, which ended up crossing Europe and the United States between July 2021 and July 2022.
