Brendon Urie wrote and recorded the Death Of A Bachelor record after getting married to Sarah Orzechowski in 2013. The Panic! frontman penned it as a loose concept album celebrating the end of his hedonistic single life. This song finds him stumbling around, blurry-eyed and hungover the morning after a wild party.
The song finds Urie boasting of "champagne, cocaine, gasoline - and most things in between." Asked by the NME what his most excessive moment has been, the Panic! frontman replied: "I'm still in excess mode! It never died off. When I was younger, I thought once I hit 25 I'd slow down. Nope! Now I just know exactly how to party and how much I can drink before I throw up. It's all autobiographical. Champagne, cocaine and gasoline... I'd get drunk, do a couple of bumps in the past and then I was setting s--t on fire - whatever I could get my hands on that wasn't a living thing."
This samples the rock riff from The B-52s 1979 hit "Rock Lobster." Brendon Urie explained to Radio.com: "When I was a kid, the first time I heard B-52s, I was like, this is a party. Every video was them partying with people. That song encapsulated a party to me. I had that sample as a placeholder, not thinking I'd be able to use it or get publishing rights to it in any way and finally they had heard it through my management and they said, 'Yeah, that's cool, you can use it.' That was amazing because I had plans to replace it."
