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] It begins with a news flash explaining that an artifact has been stolen. It cuts to burglars breaking into a house with crowbars, knives and other weapons. They walk to a bathroom, when Urie’s phone goes off, and Urie walks out of the bathroom door, seeing the burglars. He lassoes one into a fan with a belt, and kills the others shortly after. He goes to the kitchen and cuts off one’s hand, tips a scalding pan into one’s face, stabs two, and ploughs a potato on a knife into one’s face. He goes to the soundroom and blasts a few away with giant speakers, and then throws dynamite into a crowd of them. The doorbell goes off, and Urie walks over to see his girlfriend, they hug their way to the bedroom, and strip, but the girl notices that Urie stole the artefact, kicks him , and hits him across the face with a bat. Then she steals the key from Urie’s corpse.
