Ryan Seacrest talked to Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz about the band's remake of Billy Joel's popular hit "We Didn't Start the Fire." Joel's track included brief references to 118 significant political, cultural, and scientific events between the years of his birth in 1949 until the song's release in 1989. Fall Out Boy created an updated version of Billy's song, which covers the years of 1989 where Billy left off until 2023.

Fall Out Boy is also featured on the track "Electric Touch (Taylor's Version)" in Taylor Swift's Speak Now (Taylor's Version) and Seacrest mentioned to Wentz that Taylor complimented him on being one of her favorite lyricists.

"It's pretty crazy. I have a 5 year old daughter and that's the most credit I could ever get."
