Fueled by Ramen is an American record label which operates as a subsidiary of Warner Music Group, and is distributed by Atlantic Records. The label, founded in Gainesville, Florida, is based in New York City. Allmusic has called it one of the "epicenters of the emo-pop movement."
John Janick initially conceived of the label while attending high school, but it was not until he enrolled at the University of Florida in Gainesville and teamed up with Less Than Jake drummer/lyricist Vinnie Fiorello that Fueled by Ramen became a reality. The name of the label was inspired by only being able to afford a diet of inexpensive Ramen noodles at the time due to having invested most of their money into making records.
In 1998, Fueled by Ramen released a self-titled EP from Jimmy Eat World, a five-song collection that proved a breakthrough for both the label and the Arizona-based band. With increased distribution demands and a rise in radio play, Fueled by Ramen set up its first real office space that same year in Tampa, Florida.[citation needed] Since then they have released albums including Fall Out Boy's 2003 album Take This to Your Grave which became a success for the label and it was eventually certified gold.

and i can't pretend that i don't see this

when no one cares to talk about it
(talk about it)
cause i've seen love die way too many times
when it deserved to be alive
(when it deserved to be alive)
i've seen you cry way to many times
when you deserve to be alive

to feel new again
