American rock band Fall Out Boy will release their newest album "Mania" or "M A N I A" on Jan. 19, 2018. It will be the seventh studio album of the band after "American Beauty/American Psycho" in 2015.

The album will be composed of 10 songs. Fall Out Boy worked with Nigerian singer Burna Boy for the track "Sunshine Riptide." The band already released music videos for four songs included on the album. The most recent upload was the music video for their song "HOLD ME TIGHT OR DON'T."

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight Canada, the band's frontman Patrick Stump opened up about why the release of the album was delayed.

"It was about two weeks before our due date to turn it in for mastering and all the other stuff. And Pete [Wentz] calls me up and goes, 'I don't know it feels like maybe it's a little rushed.' I'm like, that's cause it's very rushed right now," he explained, adding that they then decided to pull the break.

The album's release will be under Island Records and DCD2, just like with the band's sixth album.

People can now pre-order the album on the official website of Fall Out Boy. The album is offered in different bundles. The single CD album cost $12 and the "Mania" vinyl is sold for $20. Some bundles include pins, posters, shirts, patches and even a fidget spinner.

The "M A N I A" bundle sold for $150 includes a lot of apparel like a hoodie, socks, shirts and long sleeves.

The band will take a short break in December. Their "M A N I A" 2018 tour will commence in Germany on Jan. 8, 2018. Fall Out Boy will also perform live in Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Japan and Singapore next year. The tour's final date has yet to be released.
