Background

Pete Wentz described the song as "the closest thing to a love song we've had but it's pretty fucking twisted still."

Music video

The music video for "The Last of the Real Ones" debuted on the same day as the single was released. It features Wentz being attacked by llamas with a shovel after being tied up in the back of a car.

It bears a striking resemblance to the music video for Kanye West's song "Flashing Lights" where Kanye is similarly tied up in the back of a car and is attacked by a woman with a shovel. The video was directed by the duo Mccoy | Meyer.
