My Chemical Romance has officially released its 2010 cover of Pulp's 1995 hit, "Common People," on streaming platforms for the very first time, giving one of the band's most sought-after recordings a proper standalone release while the group is in the midst of its 2026 world tour.
The release marks a first for the band, making the BBC recording officially available to stream after years as a fan favorite. The song also carries special meaning for frontman Gerard Way, who has previously spoken about the influence of Pulp on My Chemical Romance's songwriting.
"It was [written] not that long after I had moved down to London and so the sensibility is definitely that of somebody moving from up north to down south," Cocker said in a 2004 interview. "You just see more of society, there's more extremes in London. For a start you see people with money."
"This is a song that, growing up in New Jersey, it was very important to me and Mikey [Way, My Chemical Romance bassist]," My Chemical Romance frontman, Gerard Way, said in a 2011 interview. "It was very relevant to us, feeling like you were in a place you could never get out of, that you were never going to escape. I remember pushing carts at a supermarket listening to this song on headphones on a cassette player and wondering whether the hell I was ever going to get out of New Jersey. It speaks to regular people and that's why it's so great. And [Pulp's] an amazing band."
The release arrives as My Chemical Romance continues its highly anticipated 2026 world tour, which celebrates the 20th anniversary of its landmark album, The Black Parade. The trek includes multiple sold-out stadium dates, including three nights at London's Wembley Stadium, before continuing across North America later this year.
Sixteen years after it was first recorded, the band’s take on "Common People" has finally received the wide release fans had hoped for, giving new listeners a chance to hear one of the group’s most beloved cover songs for the very first time.
