Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Hallelujah. By Songfacts®.

This gospel rocker is the first song released by Panic! At The Disco following the departure of drummer Spencer Smith, making it a one-man band of mainman Brendon Urie. The track was influenced by Urie's Mormon upbringing. He explained during an interview with Los Angeles radio station ALT 98.7: "I grew up in a religious family and, like, that was a very big part of my life, and still, very much, is even though I don't affiliate with any specific religion. It's just, for me, you know, the spirituality of being able to own up to your sins, as they're called, and take responsibility for your actions really hit me this time around, and so that song really is about that, it's, you know, taking responsibility for things that you felt guilty for in the past and just owning it, because, now, that's a piece of you and you can't get rid of that history, so, that's really what it was. But it was a chance to, kind of also, you know, there's a little tagline in there that I throw out to our fans, I like to call them 'my sinners', and I'm a fellow sinner, and so I think that's a little special little throw-out to them."

Brendon Urie posted the song alongside a note for his "fellow sinners," which sees the Panic! At The Disco frontman referencing the new stage in his life without his longtime bandmate, Spencer Smith. "As I begin what feels like a new chapter of my life, I'm filled with immense excitement and a fresh sense of hope," he wrote. "I've seen this band through every phase, every change, every hardship. And yet my appreciation and love grows with every breath."

This samples Chicago's 1969 hit "Questions 67 And 68."
