"My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)" is the first single from Fall Out Boy's new album, SAVE ROCK AND ROLL, which will be released globally on May 6^th / 7^th, 2013, the 10th anniversary of Fall Out Boy's first full length studio album in 2003, Take This To Your Grave. Pre-orders for the album are at www.falloutboy.com. In conjunction with today's news, Fall Out Boy will play three intimate one-night-only club dates for their fans this week, starting tonight in Chicago (Subterranean), tomorrow night in New York City (Webster Hall Studio), and Los Angeles (Roxy) on Thursday night (February 7th).

Statement from Fall Out Boy:
"When we were kids the only thing that got us through most days was music. It's why we started Fall Out Boy in the first place. This isn't a reunion because we never broke up. We needed to plug back in and make some music that matters to us.

The future of Fall Out Boy starts now.

Save Rock And Roll..."
