This is the opening track of My Chemical Romance’s fourth album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. The song functions mainly as a voiceover introduction to the next song, “Na Na Na.” The voiceover is done by Dr. Death Defying, the underground DJ who helps the Killjoys in their fight against Better Living Industries, the album’s antagonists.
MCR frontman Gerard Way told Billboard:
“Danger Days kicks off with “Look Alive, Sunshine,” and I really like to think of the song as contributing to the idea of the album as this really crazy ride – like someone holding your hand on the way up the roller coaster, and then at the top he sort of lets go and he checks in on you from here. Also, “Look Alive, Sunshine” is heavily inspired by the language of A Clockwork Orange. I wanted all these phrases that you didn’t know what they meant but you got a sense off of just what the phrase was that you could guess what it means. I think it’s a good kind of introduction into Danger Days.“
