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

Couldn't let me go
Already a part of her
So, often do I need
People in between
That just can't get a hold of it
So we'll just sing it for them
(Just can't get a hold of it)
So we'll just sing it for them
Ahh, yeah, we'll just sing it
It's the greatest thing that's yet to have happened
Imagine knowing me
It's the greatest thing you'd ever imagine
But you'll never know until you're there
No, you'll never know until you're there
Slow, leave walking to the world
Give your feet a chance
They'll do all the thinking
Toast high until they find
Less pathetic wine
Until they get a better blend
Then we'll just drink it for them
Ahh, yeah we'll just drink it for them
('Til they get a better blend)
So we'll just drink it for them
Ahh, yeah we'll just drink it
It's the greatest thing that's yet to have happened
Imagine knowing me
It's the greatest thing you'd ever imagine
But you'll never know until you're there
No, you'll never know until you're there
It's the greatest thing that's yet to have happened
Imagine knowing me
It's the greatest thing you'd ever imagine
But you'll never know until you're there
No, you'll never know until you're there
No, you'll never know until you're there
The lyrics of Panic! at the Disco's song Pas de cheval seem to be exploring the idea of the singer's own greatness and how it can be difficult for some people to comprehend or hold onto. The opening lines suggest that the singer has become important to someone else, and they are struggling to let go. They feel as though they are a part of that person now, and they need to be acknowledged as such. However, the singer also acknowledges their own tendency to seek out other people, maybe hoping to find someone who can fully understand them.
The chorus of the song provides a possible explanation for the singer's behavior. They suggest that their own greatness is something that others cannot fully grasp until they experience it firsthand. The singer seems to be inviting his listeners to imagine knowing him, but at the same time acknowledging that it's impossible to truly know someone until you've spent time with them.
The second verse of the song mentions walking and thinking, suggesting that maybe walking is a way for the singer to clear his head and ponder his own greatness. The reference to "less pathetic wine" implies that the singer is trying to elevate himself and those around him, but also that this process takes time and effort. In the end, the chorus repeats the idea that the greatness the singer possesses can only be understood by experiencing it, implying that the journey to get there is just as important as the destination.
