Panic! at the Disco recorded their first demos while they were in high school. Shortly after, the band recorded and released their debut studio album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (2005). Popularized by the second single, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies", the album was certified triple platinum in the US. In 2006, founding bassist Brent Wilson was fired from the band during an extensive world tour and subsequently replaced by Jon Walker. The band's second album, Pretty. Odd. (2008), was preceded by the single "Nine in the Afternoon". That album marked a significant departure from the sound of the band's debut. In 2009, Ross and Walker formed a new band, the Young Veins, leaving Urie and Smith as the sole remaining members of Panic! at the Disco.
Continuing as a duo, Urie and Smith released a new single, "New Perspective", for the movie Jennifer's Body, and recruited bassist Dallon Weekes and guitarist Ian Crawford as touring musicians for live performances. Weekes was later inducted into the band's lineup as a full-time member in 2010. The band's third studio album, Vices & Virtues (2011), was recorded solely by Urie and Smith in 2010, produced by John Feldmann and Butch Walker. Crawford departed once the tour cycle for Vices & Virtues ended in 2012.
As a three-piece, Urie, Smith, and Weekes recorded and released the band's fourth studio album, Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!, in 2013. Prior to the release of the album, Smith unofficially left the band due to health and drug-related issues, leaving Urie and Weekes as the remaining members. The duo recruited guitarist Kenneth Harris and drummer Dan Pawlovich as touring musicians for live performances.
In 2015, Smith officially left the band after not performing live with them since his departure in 2013. Shortly thereafter, Weekes reverted to being a touring member once again, resulting in Panic! becoming Urie's solo project. In April 2015, "Hallelujah" was released as the first single from Panic! at the Disco's fifth studio album, Death of a Bachelor (2016). In December 2017, Weekes officially announced his departure from the band. In March 2018, Panic! at the Disco released "Say Amen (Saturday Night)", the lead single from its sixth studio album, Pray for the Wicked (2018), which was released in June. Panic! at the Disco's seventh studio album, Viva Las Vengeance, was released on August 19, 2022.
On January 24, 2023, Urie officially announced that Panic! at the Disco would be disbanding following the conclusion of the Viva Las Vengeance Tour.

Panic! at the Disco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're so sorry we've been gone,
We were busy writing songs for you
Oh, how it's been so long,
We're so sorry we've been gone,
We were busy writing songs for...
'Cause we're still the same
(We're still the same)
Band
You don't have to worry,
You don't have to worry,
You don't
You don't have to worry,
You don't have to worry,
You don't
Oh, how it's been so long,
We're so sorry we've been gone,
We were busy writing songs for you
The opening track to their second album, "Pretty. Odd.," "We're So Starving" sets the stage for the album's exploration of a broader range of musical styles and sounds. The song begins with an apologetic tone, as if the band members feel guilty about leaving their fans waiting for new music. The lyrics emphasize how long it has been since their last album, and how they were preoccupied with writing new songs.
However, the song takes a turn when the lyrics shift to a more confident and reassuring tone. Panic! at the Disco declares that they are still the same band that their fans know and love, and they are not going to let them down. The repetition of the phrase "You don't have to worry" seems to be directed at the fans, letting them know that they are still loyal and dedicated to producing quality music.
Overall, "We're So Starving" can be interpreted as a nod to the expectations placed on bands to continually produce new content for their listeners. The song acknowledges the pressure to produce new music, but it also shows a sense of pride and confidence in the band's ability to meet those expectations.
