The album was produced by [[Rob Cavallo]] and was released by [[Reprise Records]] on November 22, 2010. The album sold 112,500 copies in its first week of release. == Concept == The album's concept is based around the lives of the "Fabulous Killjoys", in the setting of California in the year 2019. The band's alter-egos are the four Killjoys: "Party Poison" ([[Gerard Way]]), "Jet-Star" (Ray Toro), "[[The Fun Ghouls|Fun Ghoul]]" ([[Frank Iero]]), and "Kobra Kid" (Mikey Way), shown in the videos for "[[Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)|Na Na Na]]" and "[[SING (My Chemical Romance song)|SING]]". The Killjoys are a group of outlaws who are fighting against the evil corporation Better Living Industries (BL/ind.) and its leader Korse ([[Grant Morrison]]).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1652552/20101117/my_chemical_romance.jhtml|title=My Chemical Romance's 'Sing' Video: The Killjoys Are Dead?|publisher=[[MTV]]|date=2010-11-18|accessdate=2010-11-18}}</ref>.

The two music videos show a girl named Grace who does covers on YouTube. ''Na Na Na'' shows the Killjoys' daily lives until Korse defeats them and captures Grace, and ''SING'' shows Killjoy's rescue mission to get her back; however, this mission sees the gang wiped out in the process, though Grace is taken in by Dr. Death Defying and their other allies. <ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYNjlukYyeY</ref> A website for [http://www.betterlivingindustries.jp Better Living Industries] was launched in November 2010, featuring a mission statement, a report from the Zones and a merchandise store.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cassiethevenomous.com/2010/11/my-chemical-romance-launch-better.html|title=My Chemical Romance launch Better Living Industries website|date=2010-11-18|accessdate=2010-11-18}}</ref> Gerard Way has said the inspiration for the song was a Trans-Am car he'd seen years ago and the visual idea of it driving fast through a desert: this car is the one used in the music videos. Way has also stated "there is no story" in the album itself, with Dr. Death Defying's interludes "painting a picture of this world" and he feels the songs are quite "direct". <ref name="nme"/> In the album, Dr. Death Defying gives a report on the deaths of Jet-Star and the Kobra Kid, and at the end he informs us "the lights are out and the party's over", and as a result he's going to have to "start running" now and his show goes off the air. This is then followed by "[[The Star-Spangled Banner]]" playing. The lyrics of most songs flag up that the Killjoys are outgunned and doomed, but are taking action despite that ("Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back" has the lyrics "who gives a damn if we lose this war", and "I'll tell you all how the story ends, where the good guys die and the bad guys win"); focus is repeatedly placed on standing up and standing together, as well as simply having fun. Several songs also refer to "the lights" going out, implied to be some major, devastating event (Dr. Death Defying calls back to this in his last broadcast). The final track, "Vampire Money", has a bastardised version of the band singing an ode to selling out ("play the game and take the band real far"). This was a reaction to the band being asked to do a song for the film ''[[The Twilight Saga: New Moon|New Moon]]'', part of the ''[[The Twilight Saga (film series)|Twilight]]'' franchise. Gerard Way said that the reason the song was on the album was because "there’s a lot of people chasing that fucking money. ‘Twilight?’ A lot of people around us were like, ‘please, for the love of God, do this fucking movie.’ But we’d moved on." == Promotion == The band posted a teaser trailer for the album on September 18, 2010 via their official [[YouTube]] account, entitled "Art Is the Weapon".<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.nme.com/news/my-chemical-romance/53057 |title=My Chemical Romance confirm new album |work=[[NME]] |date=2010-09-20 |accessdate=2010-09-23}}</ref> This was followed by the announcement of tour dates throughout Europe as part of the World Contamination Tour.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.fmqb.com/article.asp?id=1958116 |title=My Chemical Romance Enter The ''Danger Days'' |publisher=[[FMQB]] |date=2010-09-20 |accessdate=2010-09-23}}</ref> The album's first single "[[Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)|Na Na Na]]" premiered on air September 22, 2010 via [[WRFF]] in Philadelphia, [[Zane Lowe]]'s radio show on [[BBC Radio 1]], and [[KROQ]] in Los Angeles.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.rocksound.tv/news/article/new-my-chemical-romance-music-tonight |title=New My Chemical Romance Music Tonight |work=[[Rock Sound]] |date=2010-09-22 |accessdate=2010-09-23}}</ref> It has also been announced that "Na Na Na" will be sung in [[Simlish]] in ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'', to be released October 26, 2010.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://music-mix.ew.com/2010/09/02/sims-3-travie-mccoy-exclusive |title=Sims 3 exclusive: Travie McCoy, My Chemical Romance and more sing in Simlish |work=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |date=2010-09-17 |accessdate=2010-09-21}}</ref> "[[The Only Hope for Me Is You]]" was released as a single on October 11.
