Fall Out Boy felt COVID was too “on the nose” for their We Didn’t Start The Fire cover

Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz has been discussing his band’s updated cover of Billy Joel’s ‘We Didn’t Start The Fire’. He’s explained the thinking behind the post-1989 events that they included, and also those that they didn’t – most notably the COVID pandemic, which, in a song about significant world events from the last 34 years, you might have thought would feature quite prominently.Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Wentz said that the idea to update the song had been “brewing for so long”, but until recently he had been trying to convince other artists that they should do it.“I’ve been trying to get somebody to do it for four years”, he explained. “And finally Patrick [Stump, frontman] was like, ‘We should just do it’”.With that decided, then came the task of choosing what to include in the verses.
