New Sound Album: Some Nights is less cheery and much more hip-hop influenced than Aim and Ignite. | |

Concept Album | |
| Some Nights (Music) / int_34f6774c | comment |
Concept Album: Some Nights seems to be about the loneliness and misery of perpetual touring with little reward, the singer's regrets of leaving behind a possible Love Interest and missing everyone from his childhood, grieving his mother, and raging at his father. Bittersweet Ending: In "Stars," the band finally makes it to the top and while there's still a conflicted attitude in the lyrics, they're mostly positive. But as the song goes on, the tone gets darker and darker and Ruess's voice is more and more heavily distorted to match, the implication being that celebrity life has not brought him the happiness he thought it would. | |

| Some Nights (Music) / int_4b0ef86e | comment |
Advertised Extra: Janelle Monáe is credited as a feature on fun.'s "We Are Young", but she sings only 4 lines that are almost obscured by the background vocals. She is more noticeably featured in the video, but she only appears for about 20 seconds. | |

Album Intro Track | |

Album Intro Track: The intro for "Some Nights", true to its name, is an opera-style song that serves as a way of introducing the album and what it's about. | |

Lonely at the Top | |
| Some Nights (Music) / int_7f8fd503 | comment |
"Stars" is an upbeat and quirky song with extremely bleak lyrics about leaving everyone behind and being stuck alone with nobody to help you get through anything due to fame. And later repeats the lines "No one's gonna save us" and "you're always holding on to stars" over and over again. | |

Lyrical Dissonance | |
| Some Nights (Music) / int_dbfd6b8 | comment |
Lyrical Dissonance: To wit, the verse in "We Are Young" reveals that this is about a guy and his date at a bar, whose friends have abandoned them to get high and they have lost a cell phone and the date's going to get drunk to forget about how the guy beat her but all's well because toniiiiiiight, we are young. "Some Nights" is a lament about how it's Lonely at the Top, but the drum line is so dancey. "Stars" is an upbeat and quirky song with extremely bleak lyrics about leaving everyone behind and being stuck alone with nobody to help you get through anything due to fame. And later repeats the lines "No one's gonna save us" and "you're always holding on to stars" over and over again. "All Alone" has a surprisingly cheery beat for a song about depression and loneliness. | |
