"Don't Threaten Me With a Good Time" showed up on New Year's Eve 2015: Panic! at the Disco announced it on Twitter and Fueled by Ramen put the audio up on YouTube the same day, the second promotional single ahead of Death of a Bachelor, the band's fifth album. It carries a sample of the B-52's "Rock Lobster", and the writing credit runs eight names deep, Kate Pierson and Fred Schneider included.
Brendon Urie sings it and plays the guitar, bass and drums himself. J.R. Rotem produced, with Jake Sinclair co-producing, Suzy Shinn engineering and Claudius Mittendorfer mixing, and there's a full, brassy horn section on board: trumpet, flugelhorn, two trombones and alto, tenor and baritone saxophones. The official video followed on May 10, 2016, and the track later landed on the NBA 2K18 soundtrack.
