"Nine in the Afternoon" was the opening shot from Pretty. Odd., the second Panic! at the Disco album, posted on the band's MySpace page on January 29, 2008, at nine that night, and pulled soon after. It was the first song they wrote after junking a whole album's worth of material meant for the fall of 2007, and the first release to drop the exclamation point from the band's name. Fittingly, it's sunny, swaying baroque pop, easing in on piano on the deluxe LP.
Ryan Ross wrote the words and shares the writing credit with Brendon Urie, Spencer Smith and Jon Walker. The title came from a rehearsal where nobody knew the time and Smith guessed seven in the afternoon; the hour became nine to fit the rest of the lyric. Rolling Stone put it at 44 on its list of 2008's 100 best songs.
