Fall Out Boy Covering Ariana Grande's 'No Tears Left To Cry' Is Pop-Punk Perfection

Ariana Grande's "No Tears Left to Cry" is a banger. Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy has the voice of a soulful angel crooning in a mall food court. And for that reason, it makes sense that the lead singer of the legendary metal band would add his twist to the pop hit.


Stump determined to turn the Sweetener anthem into an acoustic jam while in a visit to SiriusXM on Monday (July 30). Accompanied by a guitar, Patrick soars into the hook with his signature bombast and uses his falsetto to add a little bit of flourish to the verses.


Fall Out Boy has a history of playing with the conventions of genre and bringing artists like Kanye West or Jay-Z into their world. In an interview with NME, Pete Wentz briefly elaborate how the musical group use this excellent to their advantage.


"For us, we went away for three years, and any time we came back the landscape of music was utterly different," Wentz described. "I mean like, how people listen to music – streaming was a thing, people were curating their own playlists, and it also really became apparent to us that genre mattered much less. The kids are like, ‘I can listen to Lil Uzi Vert and then I listen to Diplo and then I listen to Panic! At The Disco’, or whatever."


"For us, it’s freeing," Wentz continued. "Because we were routinely this musical group that leaned in other directions, although you’re withheld a little by whichever you think the parameters are."


Is it also late to get a Fall Out Boy feature on Sweetener?
