Genius Annotation

The song ‘Save Rock and Roll’ is the title track from Fall Out Boy’s fifth album. It features well-known musician Elton John, and is about the mutual desire of both Fall Out Boy and Elton John to save rock music and everything it stands for from being replaced by meaningless commercially-motivated music.

In some ways, the song is also about the challenges people face in life, and how music can be a form of relief in hard times when one is despairing over the state of the world.
