"It Ends Tonight" was the band's highest charting single in the U.S. It skyrocketed the album from #88 to #47 in the week of November 8th, 2006. Due to the popularity of the song in the United States, sales for Move Along started to increase.

During a July 2006 airing of the PBS series Soundstage, the group revealed that the song was not written about a girl, but rather "a dude". It also utilizes a string section, with an arrangement by composer Deborah Lurie. Contrary to their usual style, the song is a ballad. (A children's choir? Come on.) In other words, it's easy to like the All-American Rejects if you're looking for 21st century mainstream rock that takes very, very few chances but does offer solid melodies and easy to swallow take/break and night/flight rhyme schemes."It Ends Tonight" is the third single taken from The All-American Rejects' second studio album Move Along. The songs are also impeccably arranged, even if they're relentlessly processed and some of the instrumentation seems like overkill. ![]() Move Along has some memorable hooks, such as those on the title track or "Change Your Mind" - and, living up to its title, it moves along efficiently, usually keeping the pace at a snappy midtempo. ![]() There's also distortion somewhere in "Stab My Back," but it's buried under acoustic guitars, vocal overdubs, and mournful keyboards. (Fans of Wakefield, Something Corporate, Switchfoot, and American Hi-Fi should take note.) The Rejects rock out a little on "Night Drive," "Dirty Little Secret," and "I'm Waiting" - the guitars crackle anxiously, and Tyson Ritter and Nick Wheeler's breathy harmonies soar like they mean it. But the Rejects blend and sculpt those influences with keyboards, choirs, pianos - there's even a classical guitar on "Top of the World" - and the result is superficial midrange pop with appeal for a general audience of casual listeners. The earnest racket of an outfit like the Get Up Kids is also a component in Move Along's sound. The All-American Rejects' effervescent 2003 hit "Swing Swing" sounded like a pop-punk adaptation of Better Than Ezra, and their sophomore effort makes this mix even more apparent. ![]()
