Reception
Jon Blistein of Rolling Stone described the track as a "stomping blast of power-pop with frontman Brendon Urie bellowing against a background of lush, Queen-esque harmonies".[3]
Music video
The music video was released on June 1, 2022, and directed by Brendan Walter.[4] The video involves the whole band performing on an Ed Sullivan Show-esque late-night talk show. While Urie is performing, he suffers several painful injuries but continues singing, even as his piano eats him alive. After the last line, the video cuts to an exhausted, but unharmed Urie seated at his piano, relieved that his injuries were some sort of hallucination, until he finds a single drop of blood on the piano keys.[5]
