"Sing" showed up in November 2010 on My Chemical Romance's Myspace page ahead of Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, the band's fourth album, and it's the sound of a band that had decided to experiment, pushing into bright pop-rock with its emo heart still on its sleeve. Frank Iero, Ray Toro, Gerard Way and Mikey Way wrote it, Rob Cavallo produced it with the band, and Chris Lord-Alge mixed it.

Critics mostly sneered at the polish as a retreat from the band's rock sound, but it found its people anyway, sitting atop the UK Rock & Metal Singles chart for four weeks and going platinum in the US. The video, co-directed by Gerard Way and P. R. Brown, continues the "Na Na Na" story, with the Killjoys raiding a corporation to rescue a girl, and after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami the band recut it as the charity single "#SINGItForJapan".
