Edit

"Sugar, We're Goin Down" is a song by Fall Out Boy. The song is released as the first single from their third album From Under the Cork Tree (2005). The single reached #8 in the U.S., becoming Fall Out Boy's first top 10. Lead singer Patrick Stump admitted to Rolling Stone that he deliberately slurred the lyrics in the song's chorus to make it sound better, saying that he "was trying to do a straight punk song for fun" and adding, "I saw those lyrics and just kind of barked them out. But there was something about the rhythm of it, where I was like, 'Hmm, that actually might be too good for just a shitty punk song.'" Two different CDs were released with different B-sides, Part I with a green cover and Part II with a red cover. According to Blender on their "The 100 Greatest Songs of 2005", "Sugar, We're Goin Down" was rated #4 and was rated #3 according to About.com on their "Top 100 Pop Songs of 2005".

The song appears on the karaoke games Lips (as downloadable content) and in Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol.

The song has so far sold more than 2,000,000 digital downloads in the United States, becoming the band's first two-million seller and being certified double platinum by the RIAA.

It is a playable song on Band Hero.
