Stumph/”I don’t need your hug of war.”

“That’s What It Takes, Dear” by KRISTEENYOUNG and Patrick Stump has a crystalline, strange, attractive shape. Young has sometimes done verse-chorus-verse-bridge-chorus, but ”That’s What It Takes, Dear” -with its doubled-back structure, long discordant intro and a man calling a woman ”Queen of Shit” in Latin just before they launch into a double-speed argumentative cyclone which takes place in Young’s character’s mind- is toward the other end of her writing.

Her golden, accusatory warble combines a bit strangely with Stump’s warm and almost old-fashioned radio voice, but the contrast between the two is part of what gives the song its sense of inexplicable balance.
