Only Panic! at the Disco would take a single line of movie dialogue and split it into two song titles. "Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off" borrows the first half of a remark made by Alice, Natalie Portman's character in the 2004 film Closer; the second half had already turned into "But It's Better If You Do", the single released ahead of it. This one was the third single lifted from A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, the band's 2005 debut on Fueled by Ramen and DCD2.
Ryan Ross, Spencer Smith and Brendon Urie wrote it, Urie sings lead, and Matt Squire produced, recorded and mixed it, with the band and Brent Wilson chipping in extra production. It climbed to 28 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart and 39 in the UK.
