Panic! at the Disco Songs Ranked
Panic! at the Disco was originally a pop rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, formed in 2004 by childhood friends Brendon Urie, Ryan Ross, Spencer Smith and Brent Wilson. They 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 influenced by 1960s rock bands the Beatles, the Zombies, and the Beach Boys, and was preceded by the single “Nine in the Afternoon”. That album marked a significant departure from the sound of the band’s debut. Ross and Walker, who favored the band’s new direction, departed because Urie and Smith wanted to make further changes to the band’s style. Ross and Walker subsequently formed a new band, the Young Veins, leaving Urie and Smith as the sole remaining members of Panic! at the Disco.
In 2015, Smith officially left the band after not performing live with the band since his departure in 2013. Shortly thereafter, Weekes reverted to being a touring member once again, resulting in Panic! transitioning to a solo project presented by Urie. 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. Here are all of Panic! at the Disco songs ranked.

20. Girls/Girls/Boys (Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!, 2013)
“The video MAY be weird ( not in my opinion but hehe) but the song is very catchy and is great to learn on guitar.! “I never would’ve think that I would be caught in the way you got me~” That’s a sweet cheesy line that one would say to their lover right.? “
19. There’s a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven’t Thought of It Yet (A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, 2005)
“First off, the piano in this song is beautiful. Then the lyrics start and you feel like you’ve walked through the doors to a fancy party. Singing this song makes you feel like causing trouble, and the chorus is so fun. Each line is another detail to the story. The whole album is Luke a soap opera, each song can be made into a Broadway show. Best Song EVER.”
18. Say Amen (Saturday Night) (Pray for the Wicked, 2018)

17. La Devotee (Death of a Bachelor, 2016)

16. But It’s Better If You Do (A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, 2005)
“This is my second favourite song by Panic after The Ballad of Mona Lisa and I could write a hundred reasons why. Something about this song always clicked with me, I loved it from the start. The beat, vocals, and tone of the music really pull it together. Definitely too underrated.”
15. The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage (A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, 2005)
“I absolutely love this song. It is my favorite song that Panic! At The Disco sings. I think it should be higher on the list. This is the type of song that just from the beginning wants to make you get up and pray you don’t get whiplash. As soon as I hear the beat, my body just starts moving. It’s really something else.”
14. Victorious (Death of a Bachelor, 2016)
“I nearly died trying to sing that note near the beginning after “tonight we are victorious, champagne pouring over us, all my friends we’re glorious, tonight we are victorious” How brendon does it I have no idea. But this song is awesome.”
13. New Perspective (iTunes Live, 2011)
“It really shows, it’s not too late to turn back now, and you can live life from a new perspective, not only by yourself but with friends also to help you on the road of life and living and just being you. If you could change the way you were why not listen to this song for some inspiration?”
12. Ready to Go (Get Me Out of My Mind) (Vices & Virtues, 2011)
“This is a great song! I could listen to it for hours! It’s way better than ballad of Mona Lisa so it should be a top song! Right along with I write sins not tragedies!”
11. Time to Dance (A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, 2005)
“This is a song that comes in guns blazing, but never lets down during the course of three and a half minute run time. Despite this, the dynamics of the song are still present, creating these exciting moment throughout the track. Like the rest of their first record, lyrics are also a strong suit here.”
10. Northern Downpour (Pretty. Odd., 2008)
“This song gives me chills man. First time I listened to it, I may have shed a tear. It makes me think about life and how all things come to an end, but still can be very very beautiful. The lyrics and their meaning is incredible.”
9. Death of a Bachelor (Death of a Bachelor, 2016)
“This song is beautiful and completely different than anything Panic has ever done. The catchy melody combined with the smooth band and Brendon’s voice make for a great song. Influenced by Frank Sinatra, this song shows the how much Brendon and the band have grown in their 10 years.”
8. Build God, Then We’ll Talk (A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, 2005)
“Everything about this song is amazing. The cello, the low pitched first verses, the bass, the cello… the story behind it, about a catholic virgin absolutely in need to get a job but in order to do so, she needs to sleep with her married employer, who’s wife knows about this but she is just with him for the money, is brilliant. Absolutely genius. My favourite song of all times by far”
7. Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off (A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, 2005)
“Love this song! It really depicts a scene of a teenage love affair and puts it into perspective that young boys look for easy girls and that a girl won’t forget her first ‘oh no no you know it will always just be me'”

6. Emperor’s New Clothes (Death of a Bachelor, 2016)
“One of the best off the new album for sure. Not a 100% HUGE fan of the album however this song is super cool. The way it’s a followup to This Is Gospel (as far as music videos go) is so entertaining to me. Brendon is taking back the title Panic! At The Disco all for himself, and in this song he makes it clear he’s not giving it up, or sharing it, anytime soon.”
5. Miss Jackson (Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!, 2013)
“Miss Jackson is the absolute best I’ve heard from Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die! I’ve listened to it so much I even memorized the lyrics! It should be in the top 3 or something! 😀 My fave part is: “Way down til’ the fire finally dies out, you got em’ wrapped around your finger watch em’ fall down, there’s something beautiful and tragic in the fallout lemme say it one more time! ” Absolute best!”
4. Nine in the Afternoon (Pretty. Odd., 2008)
“Okay, all though it’s pretty funny that this song is in ninth place, regarding the title; this was the first song I have heard from Panic! At the Disco, and will always be my one and only favorite. Literally, I am obsessed with this song on so many levels. It deserves better.”
3. This Is Gospel (Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!, 2013)
“This song is beautiful. The lyrics are so well written, and Brendon sings them perfectly, without fail. The meaning to the song really carries throughout the entire performance, it speaks to me and it sounds phenomenal. I got into P! ATD with The Ballad of Mona Lisa, then I forgot about them. One day I saw this song on T.V. and it flung me back into the P! ATD hype, and for this I am so thankful.”
2. The Ballad of Mona Lisa (Vices & Virtues, 2011)
“Its an amazing song! I’ve never heard anything so original and imaginative before. I first heard this song in 2012 and I’m still in love with it! Once you hear it for the first time you will become hooked. Brendon’s voice is incredible and you will fall in love with this!”
1. I Write Sins Not Tragedies (A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, 2005)
“While I love this song and could listen to it for hours, it really should be lower. There are much better songs like nicotine, this is gospel, nearly witches, that green gentlemen, Death of a Bachelor, nicotine, there’s a good reason these tables are numbered honey you just haven’t thought of it yet, and nicotine. Amazing song but not their best.”
