Fall Out Boy pulled "The Take Over, the Breaks Over" off Infinity on High, their third album, and sent it to radio in August 2007 as the record's fourth single. The music grew out of Patrick Stump's love of David Bowie, "Rebel Rebel" above all, bassist Pete Wentz wrote the words, and the title winks at Jay-Z's 2001 song "Takeover". Neal Avron produced, and Chad Gilbert and Ryan Ross drop by as guest guitarists.
Australia took to it hardest, sending it as high as No. 17, and it got a 7-inch pressing in several countries, the UK included. Its video won the People's Choice prize for Favorite International Video at Canada's MuchMusic Video Awards, beating Kanye West and Rihanna.
