From Under the Cork Tree is the second studio album by the American rock band Fall Out Boy, released on May 3, 2005, through Island Records as the band’s major label debut. The music was composed by lead vocalist and guitarist Patrick Stump, with all lyrics penned by bassist Pete Wentz, expanding the band’s songwriting approach they took for some songs on their debut album Take This to Your Grave (2003). Neal Avron served as the album’s producer. Commenting on the record’s lyrical themes, Wentz said the lyrics were about “the anxiety and depression that goes along with looking at your own life.”[2] In support of its release, the group headlined tours worldwide and played at various music festivals. For their Black Clouds and Underdogs tour, the album was re-released as From Under the Cork Tree (Limited “Black Clouds and Underdogs” Edition), featuring new songs and remixes.
The album was Fall Out Boy’s breakthrough mainstream success. Spearheaded by the lead single “Sugar, We’re Goin Down“, the album debuted at No. 9 on the US Billboard 200 with 168,000 first week sales, a position it stayed at for two non-consecutive weeks, earning the band their first top 10 album and becoming their longest charting and best-selling album.[3] It logged 14 weeks in the top 20 out of its 78 chart weeks. The album as well as its singles won several awards and the album was certified 2× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[4] It has since sold over 2.5 million units in the United States,[5] and over seven million worldwide.[6] The album produced two hugely popular hit singles, “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” and “Dance, Dance“, which peaked at No. 8 and No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 respectively, receiving regular radio play on both pop and alternative stations. In 2005, the album was ranked at No. 43 on IFPI’s list of the “Top 50 Best Selling Albums of 2005” worldwide.[7]
