Fall Out Boy have shared a video for “So Much (for) Stardust,” the latest single and titular track of their eighth studio album that came out last March. The record marked Fall Out Boy’s first return to Fueled by Ramen since debuting on the label with Take This to Your Grave 20 years prior.
The video stars Miami Heat player Jimmy Butler outfitted in a bedazzled cowboy outfit and the iconic early-2000s emo fringe. Butler was dubbed "Heat Wentz" by fans after he showed up to media day with the Miami Heat with fake piercings, makeup, and straightened hair last October. “I’m very emotional right now,” Butler had said. “This is my emo state and I like this."
Directed by Brendan Walter, this video is the perfect ode to “So Much (for) Stardust,” a mournful, epic, larger-than-life closing track. Upon discovering a Magic 8 Ball (a reference to the gimmick that was introduced during the first leg of Fall Out Boy’s North American tour), Butler summons an equally bedazzled Pete Wentz, and the two fall into an emo-cowboy-dance number that is intercut with Butler lip-syncing along to the song in true, pensive, emo fashion.
