The lead single from Panic! At The Disco's Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die! album was written by the band's Spencer Smith, Brendon Urie and Dallon Weekes and produced by Butch Walker. It was released on July 15, 2013 on iTunes.
The Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die! album title is taken from Hunter S. Thompson's ode to excess, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Lyrically, the song finds Urie telling the story of being compulsively in love with an elusive woman. It references Janet Jackson's classic hit "Nasty." Urie told MTV News it's a true tale from his personal life. "'Miss Jackson' is about something that actually happened to me when I was younger. I hadn't really talked about it, and I felt that if I didn't, I would keep thinking about it, it would drive me crazy," he explained. "When I was younger, I would mess around; I'd sleep with one girl one night, sleep with her friend the next night, and not care about how they felt, or how I made them feel. And then it happened to me and I realized 'Wow, that's what that feels like? I feel really sh---y.'" "I knew I had to change, because I didn't want to feel that way again, or make other people feel that way," Urie continued. "So I wrote the song. It's based off someone who is real, though I don't think they would know it. They might suspect it, and if they figure it out, I'd love to talk to them about it."
