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 ↴
A moment you'll never remember
And a night you'll never forget
Oh
All you sinners stand up, sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Show praise with your body
Stand up, sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Let it move right through ya (Hallelujah)
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers (Hallelujah)
My life started the day I got caught
Under the covers
With secondhand lovers
Oh, tied up in pretty young things
In a state of emergency
Who was I tryna be?
Then the time for being sad is over
And you miss 'em like you miss no other
And being blue is better than being over it (over it)
All you sinners stand up, sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Show praise with your body
Stand up, sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
And if you can't stop shaking, lean back
Let it move right through ya (Hallelujah)
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers (Hallelujah)
I was drunk and it didn't mean a thing
Stop thinking about
The bullets from my mouth
I love the things you hate about yourself
Just finished a daydream
Who were you tryna be?
Then the time for being sad is over
And you miss 'em like you miss no other
And being blue is better than being over it (over it)
No one wants you when you have no heart and
I'm sitting pretty in my brand new scars and
You'll never know if you don't ever try again
So let's try
Let's try
Let's try
All you sinners stand up, sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Show praise with your body
Stand up, sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
And if you can't stop shaking, lean back
Let it move right through ya (Hallelujah)
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers (Hallelujah)
All you sinners stand up, sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Show praise with your body
Stand up, sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
And if you can't stop shaking, lean back
Let it move right through ya (Hallelujah)
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers (Hallelujah)
The song "Hallelujah" by Panic! at the Disco, has a religious-based theme that encourages listeners to embrace their imperfections and the struggles they face. The first verse sets the stage for a forgotten moment and a remembered night. It emphasizes how fleeting some moments can be and the fleeting memories they leave behind. The chorus, "All you sinners stand up, sing Hallelujah," asks people to accept their flaws and sins and to rejoice in them. The song encourages people to show praise with their bodies and let the music move through them. The lyrics encourage listeners to say their prayers, which are repeated multiple times throughout the song.
The second verse provides insight into the singer's own struggles with secondhand lovers, pretty young things, and who they were trying to be. However, the singer emphasizes that it is time to move on, which is reflected in the chorus that emphasizes how being sad is over and being blue is better than being over it. The bridge emphasizes the pain of rejection and vulnerability but also encourages trying again. The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing a celebration of individuality, imperfection, and strength.
