"High Hopes" is a song by American band Panic! at the Disco. The song was released through Fueled by Ramen and DCD2 Records on May 23, 2018 as the second single from their sixth studio album, Pray for the Wicked (2018).[3] The song was written and produced by Jake Sinclair and Jonas Jeberg, and co-written by Brendon Urie, Jenny Owen Youngs, Lauren Pritchard, Sam Hollander, William Lobban-Bean, Taylor Parks, and Ilsey Juber; with additional production by Jonny Coffer. It was serviced to alternative radio on July 31, 2018, and impacted hot adult contemporary radio on August 27, 2018, and US pop radio the following day.[4] The music video was also released on August 27, 2018.

"High Hopes" peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band's highest-charting song on the chart, surpassing their 2006 breakout single, the top 10 hit "I Write Sins Not Tragedies". It is Urie's second highest charting single after the number two "Me!" with Taylor Swift. It topped the charts in Mexico and Poland, and reached the top ten in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Latvia, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden and Switzerland; as well as the top twenty in Denmark, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, Singapore and the United Kingdom, becoming their highest-charting single worldwide. It also became the act's first single to top one of Billboard's Dance/Electronic charts, reaching number-one on its Dance/Mix Show Airplay list in February 2019.[5][6]

Background

"High Hopes" was written and produced by Jake Sinclair and Jonas Jeberg, and co-written by Brendon Urie, Jenny Owen Youngs, Lauren Pritchard, Sam Hollander, William Lobban-Bean, Taylor Parks, and Ilsey Juber; with additional production by Jonny Coffer. Jeberg, Parks, Juber, and Lobban-Bean began writing the song at a BMI writing camp in Aspen, Colorado in 2015.[7] When the four of them had arrived an hour early, they decided to go into a hot tub together outside. Jeberg has said of the song's conception: "I was sitting in the hot tub, singing bass notes. We didn't have any instruments because we were in the hot tub. I was singing bass notes and directing chords in that way, and we were brainstorming different lyrics."[8] Eventually they set up a portable recording studio and began recording a demo version with a beat, horns and vocals. Initially, the song's hook was conceived as a rap song, and they began sending it to different artists who all declined. In 2016, Panic! at the Disco's management company said the band wanted to record the song for their next studio album. In early 2018, lead singer Brendon Urie co-wrote the verses for the "High Hopes", before Sinclair, Jeberg and Coffer were brought in to finish the production.[7][8]

Composition

The song is written in the key of F major with a tempo of 82 beats per minute.[9] During their live performances, it's sung in the key of Eb major.

Music video

The audio track was uploaded to Panic! at the Disco's official YouTube channel on the same day of its release, on May 23, 2018. An official music video for the song was uploaded on August 27, 2018. As of July 2019, the music video has surpassed 325 million views. The video was filmed in the Downtown area of Los Angeles, California, primarily at 705 West 9th Street.[citation needed]

The video features lead vocalist Brendon Urie walking through LA as passersby bump into him. Eventually, he sizes up a skyscraper with a glass exterior. Determined, he presses a foot to the glass, flips horizontally, and begins walking up the outside of the wall. People flock to the base of the building, recording Urie and watching with awe. He waves to the people below and inside the building, and finally gets to the roof as the crowd below applauds. As the sun sets, he joins the rest of the band on the roof and continues to sing the final chorus of the song.

Reception

Paste magazine described it as having "a blaring brass section" and "crisp vocals".[10] Rolling Stone described it as "upbeat" and having "punchy horns".[11]

Commercial performance

"High Hopes" has peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100, making it Panic! at the Disco's highest-charting song, exceeding the peak of "I Write Sins Not Tragedies", which reached number seven 13 years ago.[12] Also in the United States, it reached number one on the Radio Songs airplay chart, marking their first leader there. Worldwide, the song has charted highly, reaching number seven in Australia and number twelve in the United Kingdom, also becoming their highest charting song in those countries. Also, "High Hopes" is the fourth song to top the Pop Songs, Adult Pop Songs and Alternative Songs charts simultaneously since the Adult Pop Songs chart began in Billboard in March 1996, the Pop Songs chart began in October 1992 and the Alternative Songs chart began in September 1988.[13] Also, with 14 weeks on top of Radio Songs, "High Hopes" tied Alicia Keys' "No One" and Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me" for fifth longest-leading number one on the Radio Songs chart, which began in 1990.[14] And with 15 weeks on top of Adult Pop Songs, "High Hopes" is now the longest-leading No. 1 on the Adult Pop Songs chart of the 2010s, which began in Billboard's pages in March 1996.[15] "High Hopes" also has the distinction of being the first Panic! at the Disco song to register on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, where it peaked at #9. In June 2019, "High Hopes" broke the record for most weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Rock Songs chart, logging 34 consecutive weeks at the top.[16]
