“Champion” is the second single from Fall Out Boy’s 2017’s release MANIA. The song was released on June 23, 2017. While the band’s first comeback tune ‘Young And Menace’ seemed to suggest they were moving in a more electronic direction, Champion is closer to what the Chicagoan chart-toppers are know...
[Intro]
Champion, champion
[Verse 1]
I'm calling you from the future
To let you know we've made a mistake
And there's a fog from the past that's giving me, giving me
Such a headache
And I'm back with a madness, I'm a champion
Of the people who don't believe in champions
I got nothing but dreams inside
I got nothing but dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just young enough to still believe, still believe
But young enough not to know what to believe in
Young enough not to know what to believe in, yeah
[Chorus]
If I can live through this, if I can live through this
If I can live through this, I can do anything
If I can live through this, if I can live through this
If I can live through this, I can do anything
[Post-Chorus]
Champion, champion
Champion, champion
[Verse 2]
I got rage every day, on the inside
The only thing I do is sit around and kill the time
I'm trying to blow out the pilot light
I'm trying to blow out the light
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just young enough to still believe, still believe
But young enough not to know what to believe in
Young enough not to know what to believe
[Chorus]
If I can live through this, if I can live through this
If I can live through this, I can do anything
If I can live through this, if I can live through this
If I can live through this, I can do anything
[Bridge]
Champion, champion, I can do anything
Champion, champion, and I can do anything
Champion, champion, and I can do anything
Champion, champion, I can do anything!
[Chorus]
If I can live through this, if I can live through this
If I can live through this, I can do anything
If I can live through this, if I can live through this
(I can do anything, I can do anything)
If I can live through this
(If I can live through this, if I can live through, live through)
If I can live through this, if I can live through this
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, if I can live, yeah, yeah)
If I can live through this, I could do anything
(If I can live, yeah, I could do anything)
If I can live through this, if I can live through this
(I can do anything, I can do anything)
If I can live through this
(I can do anything, I can do anything)
[Outro]
Champion, champion

In an interview with PopBuzz, vocalist Patrick Stump explained:
“I do a lot of improvisation, actually. So this record, I recorded my vocals by myself instead of going in with someone else, and I think sometimes you get more of that singing-in-the-shower freedom, where you’re not scared of whatever...
