Fall Out Boy: Centuries
The album cover depicts a boy, staring at the camera with a blank expression, half his face painted with a black American flag.
In a statement on the band's Facebook page, Fall Out Boy described the meaning behind the image, alongside a quote from Malcolm McLaren:
"this photo was meant to capture the threshold between the american beauty and the american psycho... what rages on the inside- how we what we all feel is permanent and impermanent all at once. we can change but do we really want to? activate yourself, protect your dreaminess. or break it- 'because without the cracks the light couldnt get out.'
"Rock and roll doesn't necessarily mean a band. It doesn't mean a singer and it doesn't mean a lyric, really. It's that question of trying to be immortal."

Fall Out Boy also shared its album's next single, the mid-tempo, personal track "The Kids Aren't Alright."
"And in the end / I'd do it all again / I think you're my best friend / Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright / I'll be yours / When it rains it pours / Stay thirsty I'll be fine / Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright," FOB singer Patrick Stump sings in the chorus, channeling romantic and loyalty in his voice and lyrics.
