Take This To Your Grave

Take This to Your Grave is the debut studio album release by American rock band Fall Out Boy. It is the band's first release under the Fueled by Ramen label and was released on May 6, 2003. The record's title is taken from a line from the lyrics of the track "The Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes", which reads "Take this to your grave, and I'll take it to mine". With producer Sean O'Keefe, the songs were written by lead singer/guitarist Patrick Stump and bassist Pete Wentz, with Joe Trohman filling in guitars. Take This to Your Grave is the first Fall Out Boy CD to feature current drummer Andy Hurley. The album was recorded with an investment from Island Records but was worked by Fueled by Ramen.

The album became an underground success and helped the band gain a dedicated fanbase, as well as some minor commercial success. With singles "Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy" and "Saturday" receiving video airplay on FUSE, mtvU and Target's in-store video stream and radio airplay on mainstream stations across the country, the album sold very well and was eventually certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of 500,000 units, but only in 2006, after the success of the band's follow-up 2005 album, From Under the Cork Tree. Take This to Your Grave has sold over 553,000 units in the United States as of 2007, according to Nielsen SoundScan, most of which came after the successes of the band's later albums, From Under the Cork Tree (2005) and Infinity on High (2007).
