Alone Together (Fall Out Boy song)

"Alone Together" is a song by American rock band Fall Out Boy, released on October 7, 2013, as the fourth single from their fifth studio album, Save Rock and Roll (2013). The song reached the top 10 on the US Rock Airplay chart and also charted on the Billboard Hot 100.

The song's lyrics, penned by Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, Joe Trohman, and Andy Hurley, explore themes of escapism, codependency, and finding solace within a relationship, even amidst wider feelings of isolation or social disconnection. The title itself, "Alone Together," encapsulates this central theme, suggesting a paradoxical state of being simultaneously isolated from the world and connected to another person.

Musically, "Alone Together" features a blend of pop-punk and alternative rock elements characteristic of Fall Out Boy's post-hiatus sound. It incorporates a catchy chorus, prominent electronic instrumentation, and driving drum beats, creating an anthemic and radio-friendly feel.

The music video for "Alone Together" depicts a clandestine wedding ceremony taking place within a secret, underground setting. This visual narrative further reinforces the song's themes of finding intimacy and connection in unconventional or hidden spaces. The video also features visual nods to other songs and imagery associated with the Save Rock and Roll album cycle.

"Alone Together" was a commercial success for Fall Out Boy, contributing to the overall positive reception and chart performance of Save Rock and Roll. It remains a popular track among fans and is frequently performed live at the band's concerts.
