“Middle of a Breakup” is the 2nd Single for Panic! at the Disco’s 7th and final studio album “Viva Las Vengeance”

Middle of a Breakup was initially announced with an image posted on the 8th of July, with a jar of “Maggie’s Farm Honey” with the caption reading “Honey honey, you’re my favourite drug”

Later, a clip of the first line was posted as a teaser, however on the 18th of July, an mp3 file of the song got leaked to various fans via emails from (allegedly) Panic!
A few days later on the 21st, the song and an accompanying video was released.
The track was written sometime in late 2020 or early 2021, when Jake Sinclair first introduced Brendon to Mike Viola. The final revision of the song was most likely recorded sometime in mid 2021 when they were working in United Studios.

On 9-3-22 Brendon described songs from VLV in a series of pop-up ADs on Pandora. For this track he stated, “this song is about going through a hard time, and some sexy times.” Obviously tongue and cheek. He has also stated in an interview with Mikey Piff that it was actually the first song he and Viola wrote together.
