"Panic Attack" is a song by the English heavy metal band Judas Priest from their 2024 album Invincible Shield. It was released as the album's lead single on October 13, 2023, and became its most popular song, having over 8 million Spotify listens and 2 million YouTube views.[4]
"Panic Attack" opens with a mix of guitars and synths, before transitioning into the main riff.[5] The song's opening has been compared to the style of Judas Priest's 1986 album Turbo,[6] while the rest of the song takes influence from their 1990 album Painkiller.[7]
The song was seen as unusually dark for the band lyrically, with Halford noting it offers a dark view of the power of the internet. “When I say, 'The clamor and the clatter of incensed keys can bring a nation to its knees', we see that all the time,” he said. “The primaries are going on, and the internet is full of conspiracy theories, hate, bullying—all of that kind of stuff.”[4]
