Release

"Say Amen (Saturday Night)" was released for digital download and streaming on March 21, 2018 and was produced by Jake Sinclair and Imad Royal.[1] On the same day, the promotional single "(Fuck A) Silver Lining" was released.[1][5][6] The song became Panic! at the Disco's first number one single on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart in June 2018.[7]

Music video

Directed by Daniel "Cloud" Campos, the music video for "Say Amen (Saturday Night)" premiered on March 21, 2018.[8] Panic! at the Disco frontman Brendon Urie confirmed that the music video serves as a prequel to the band's 2013 music video, "This Is Gospel", from the band's fourth studio album Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die! and the 2015 music video for "Emperor's New Clothes," from the band's fifth studio album Death of a Bachelor.[2] The video begins with a news report explaining that an artifact has been stolen. It cuts to a mob of armed burglars breaking into Brendon Urie's home. Urie texts his girlfriend to delay her arrival, then defeats the burglars by various comical means. Urie's girlfriend arrives, whereupon they hug their way to the bedroom. When she notices the artifact hanging on Urie's chest, she attacks him and knocks him out. She steals the key from Urie's "dead" body as heartbeats reminiscing "This Is Gospel" are heard.
