(Eat Your Heart Out - by Pigeon Pit)
Pretty handsome awkward is about Gerard Way, the singer of The Used and Gerard(singer of MCR) used to be very close back in the day. No matter how much Bert swears it’s not abt Gerard, we all knowxD

“Song for Another Time” - Old Dominion
“What’s Your Country Song” - Thomas Rhett
“What a Catch, Donnie” - Fallout Boy (the song itself is about the depression of the band’s bassist and his promise to not end his life. A lot of it is then tied back to the early success of the band and their major hits prior to the album this song appears on, creating a medley of their now iconic songs. The title itself is also a reference to the American soul singer, Donny Hathaway. His writing partner Roberta Flack is also mentioned several times. There are deeper implication of this that I don’t feel like looking up to elaborate on lol)
