En la tranquila ciudad de Stillwater, Oklahoma, emergió una banda que llegaría a captar la atención mundial: The All-American Rejects. Fundada en 1999 por Tyson Ritter (vocalista y bajista) y Nick Wheeler (guitarrista y tecladista), ambos eran simples adolescentes con sueños de grandeza y una pasión compartida por la música.
La química entre ellos fue instantánea. Tyson y Nick comenzaron a escribir canciones juntos y, utilizando software de grabación básico, produjeron sus primeros demos. En poco tiempo, la energía y creatividad de la dupla atrajeron la atención de otros músicos locales, completando así la primera formación de la banda.
El arduo trabajo de la banda rindió frutos cuando lanzaron su álbum debut The All-American Rejects en 2002. Este álbum, que incluye éxitos como "Swing, Swing" y "The Last Song", les permitió debutar en la industria musical con gran éxito. El sencillo "Swing, Swing" rápidamente ascendió en las listas de popularidad, llevando a la banda a una gira nacional. Esa oportunidad les brindó una exposición masiva y consolidó su presencia en la escena del pop punk y el rock alternativo.
El segundo álbum de la banda, Move Along, lanzado en 2005, marcó un punto crucial en su trayectoria. Con sencillos que se convirtieron en himnos como "Dirty Little Secret", "It Ends Tonight" y la canción que da nombre al álbum, "Move

(Verse 1)
I'll never forget when we started out
The beat of the drum
A face in the crowd
Its better this way, it's better this way
How far we've come, now not a soul can change
Remember the road running under our feet
We'd shoot for the stars and aim at the trees
Its better this way, it's better this way
Gambling with life, it was our turn to play
It's time, only when you look forward can you see behind
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride
(Verse 2)
Every trial and every test
We'd drive to the east and we'd fly to the west
Just running away, just running away
We can't be different cause they're all the same
Every night that we'd ever start, and every beat of every heart
Is running away, just running away
Catching our breath at the end we could say
It's time, only when you look forward could you see behind
Every taste we could get was just sweet
Holding onto the moment we let go of life
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride
Day after day in the light
We're glowing in the dark
Standing was the sketch
Where falling wasn't hard
We lost ourselves to find ourselves
somewhere down the line this time
(Chorus)
Day after day in the light
We're glowing in the dark
Standing was the sketch
Where falling wasn't hard
We lost ourselves to find ourselves
somewhere down the line this time
For some it's a guard, for me it's a fact
We'd make a mistake and try to take em all back
Its better this way, it's better this way
Out of the grind and then into the grave
It's time, it's time, only when you look forward
could you see behind
Every taste we could get was just sweet
Holding onto the moment we let go of life
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride (x2)
