What It Means to Fall Apart is the seventh studio album by American rock band Mayday Parade.

I feel like it's a balance of those two things, dealing with the pain and the frustration of everything that’s been happening in the world but not dwelling on it too much.

"[4]The album chronicles the life and times of Mayday Parade for the past 15 years, while addressing the "varied waves of mental health, and an unending plague.

"[4] What It Means to Fall Apart sees the group return to their "emo roots and traditional sound," working with producers Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount.

Luke Wells of EUPHORIA gave the album a positive review praising tracks such "You Not Me" and "Golden Days" as "lyrical heavy hitters."

Overall, Hysteria stated that, "What It Means to Fall Apart doesn't quite hold the same spark that made some of their past records such classics, but it is still pretty damn good.

"[17] Wall of Sound gave a mixed review of the album stating, "The first half of the record feels as though Mayday Parade have matured in their sound and they've done something outside of their realm which usually I love, but for some reason this time, I just feel like it almost needed just a little bit of a tweak before I would have said that this was absolute perfection as a full record itself.
