Centuries is a 2014 song by American rock band Fall Out Boy, released as the lead single from their album American Beauty American Psycho. Built around a sample of Suzanne Vega's Tom's Diner, it became known for its chant-like chorus and arena rock sound. Short excerpts later circulated online as reaction and edit audio, where the soaring hook is used to mark comebacks, victories and larger-than-life moments. Its familiar melody and confident tone have kept the clip recognisable long after the original chart run.
