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.
She's A Handsome Woman
Panic! at the Disco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Innocence sunk the glow and drowned in covers
Send for all your absent lovers things
Sheepish wolves
Looking lived in eating buttons
Wink, just don't put your teeth on me
Accidents, let the evening in the back door
Filled the room ceiling to the floor
Beat backbones
Grazed the poem and made it strange
I wasn't born to be a skeleton
Go on
Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera
Go on, film the world before it happens
Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera
Go on, film the world before it happens (go on)
Jealous orchard
The sky is falling off the ceiling
While I'm tucking fibs into a cookie jar
Reverie
It's useless searching in the cupboards
When everything you have is on your back
Go on
Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera
Go on, film the world before it happens
Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera (go on)
Go on, film the world before it happens
Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera
Go on, film the world before it happens (go on)
Film the world before it happens
Film the world before it happens
Film the world before it happens
The lyrics to Panic! at the Disco's song "She's a Handsome Woman" describe a sense of adventurousness and a desire to seize the moment. The song speaks of innocence being lost ("Innocence sunk the glow and drowned in covers") and of accidents allowing new experiences to come in ("Accidents, let the evening in the back door"). The lyrics also mention jealousy ("Jealous orchard"), possibly hinting at a desire for something or someone out of reach.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera, film the world before it happens." This could be interpreted as a call to live life to the fullest and document it along the way.
Overall, the song speaks of the excitement of living in the moment and not letting life pass you by. It encourages the listener to embrace new experiences and to cherish memories by capturing them.

Innocence sunk the glow and drowned in covers
The loss of purity caused light to disappear and be consumed by darkness
Send for all your absent lovers things
Retrieve all belongings left behind by previous partners
Sheepish wolves
Timid predators
Looking lived in eating buttons
Appearing disheveled while nervously fidgeting
Wink, just don't put your teeth on me
Flirt, but don't be aggressive
Accidents, let the evening in the back door
Mishaps occur, causing an unexpected turn of events
Filled the room ceiling to the floor
Overwhelming and all-consuming chaos
Beat backbones
Strengthening one's resolve and courage
Grazed the poem and made it strange
Modifying art to fit personal preferences, rendering it unfamiliar
I wasn't born to be a skeleton
I refuse to be diminished or weakened
Jealous orchard
An envious environment
The sky is falling off the ceiling
A sense of imminent danger
While I'm tucking fibs into a cookie jar
Lying and hiding secrets
Reverie
Daydreaming and being lost in thought
It's useless searching in the cupboards
Looking for answers in the wrong places
When everything you have is on your back
Carrying everything you need with you, being self-sufficient
Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera
Take control of your life and capture your experiences
Go on, film the world before it happens
Embrace the present moment and document your journey
Film the world before it happens
Live in the now and make the most of every opportunity

After being an obsessed P! Phan for about 4 years, I realized I never really listened to Pretty Odd, besides two or three songs. I regret not spending all my time on this amazing album ♡
@tecnei2020
I love his voice when he sings " Grab your hat and fetch a camera "
@tehreeem
I'm listening to pretty odd after 2 years of not listening to panic! At all, these songs just bring a string of emotions, my heart aches with nostalgia, i remember all the joy and all the sorrow their music brought me, i remember my undying love for their music, many beautiful memories, I feel like I've melted back to the mind of 13 year old me obsessing over them, Thank you for everything i will forever cherish the memories this band has given me.
@dddaizy3141
This is one of the most underrated panic songs tbh
@AriellFitussi
This song is strange. It makes me feel nostalgic for some reason. It kinda makes you hate it and love it at the same time. Idk
