"Hum Hallelujah" is the fifth track on Fall Out Boy's 2007 album Infinity on High. The song is reportedly about Pete Wentz's attempted suicide, while listening to the song "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen (which is sampled in the song) in his car, although his comments in an interview with Guitar World suggest otherwise.
This song is the only song from Infinity on High whose original title wasn't changed for the final cut, and is also one of the only four songs off the album which directly refers to its title in the song, the others being "Golden", "Thnks fr th Mmrs" (as "thanks for the memories", with vowels), and "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race".
In a very old entry on the official Fall Out Boy website's Q&A section, Wentz stated the following in regards to the next single: "It's not decided yet. But it will NOT be 'Hum Hallelujah.' That song means something on a different level to us."
As a preface to the song during live concerts, Pete has said that, "This song goes out to all the kids who keep the lights on, even when the world is being really shitty."
