During the extensive touring in support of the album, the group began writing and recording material for a seventh album . The beginning of the production process for Mania began after the band's frontman Patrick Stump introduced the song "Young and Menace" to bass guitarist Pete Wentz at Reading and Leeds Festival in 2016, which inspired the musicians to record a full - length . In an interview with Rolling Stone, Wentz described the vision behind Mania . "It feels like every once in awhile, you've gotta do a hard restart that clears the cache and erases the hard drive . I think that's what (Mania) was--a big palette cleanse," said Wentz . </P> <P> After the release of the album's first two singles, "Young and Menace" and "Champion", Patrick Stump issued a statement on Twitter confirming that the band was postponing the release date for Mania until January 19, 2018 due to the album "feeling rushed ." </P> <P> Mania was originally scheduled for a release on September 15, 2017, worldwide . However, on August 3, 2017, Patrick Stump announced that the record would be pushed back until January 19, 2018 . "The album just really isn't ready, and it felt very rushed," Stump said on Twitter . "I'm never going to put a record out I genuinely don't believe is at least as strong or valid as the one that came before it and in order to do that we need a little bit more time to properly and carefully record solid performances ." </P>
