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.

That you've been running from
You either love it or I guess you don't
You're such a pretty thing
To be running from anyone
A vision with nowhere to go
So tell me right now
I wanna know
Why you got me going
So let's go
We'll take it outta here
I think I'm ready to leap
I'm ready to live
I'm ready to go
Get me out of my mind
Get me out of my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh oh ooh, oh oh ooh
You've got these little things
You wanted something for 'em
You either get it or I guess you won't
What does it really mean
To get nothing from anyone?
There's a million ways it could go
So tell me right now
You think you're ready for it?
I wanna know
Why you got me going
So let's go
We'll take it out of here
I think I'm ready to leap
I'm ready to live
I'm ready to go
Get me out my mind
Get me out my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh oh ooh, oh oh ooh

Get me out my mind
Get me out my mind

Oh oh ooh, oh oh ooh

The lyrics of Panic! at the Disco's song Ready To Go seem to be about a person who is feeling trapped in their own mind and is trying to break free. The first verse highlights the little things that this person is running from, things that they either love or don't. Despite being a "pretty thing," this person is running away from anyone and has no vision for their life.
In the chorus, the singer urges this person to take the leap of faith and live life to the fullest. They ask if they're ready for it and why they have this effect on the singer. The repeated chorus of "I'm ready to go, get me out of my mind" seems to indicate a desire to escape from their thoughts and worries.
The second verse continues the theme, with the person wanting something for the little things they have but unsure if they'll get it. The line "there's a million ways it could go" implies uncertainty and fear of the unknown. The final repeated lines of "I think I'm ready, I know I'm ready" show that despite the fear, they are ready to take the leap and live life to the fullest.
Overall, the song seems to be about the desire to break free from negative thoughts and live life fully, even if it's scary or uncertain.

There are countless possibilities

I believe I am ready,
I know I'm ready, I know
I am fully aware that I am ready.
Get me out my mind
