"The Foundations of Decay" is a song by American rock band My Chemical Romance. It is the first release since their reunion in October 2019 and the first single since "Fake Your Death" from their greatest hits album May Death Never Stop You (2014). The song was written by Gerard Way and was produced by Doug McKean alongside Way and Ray Toro.

Background and composition
In June 2021, Gerard Way revealed in an interview that he was working on music alongside Doug McKean, who engineered My Chemical Romance's The Black Parade and Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.

Billboard described the song as a "full-blown head banger with all the anthemic force of MCR’s beloved 2006 track "Welcome to the Black Parade." They also said that the song "surges between electric guitar-stamped rage fests and simmering moments of storytelling", with the song concluding in a "scream-filled free-for-all".
