"Panic Switch" was the opening shot from Swoon, the second Silversun Pickups album, going out as its first single on March 17, 2009, a month before the record itself landed on Dangerbird, and this is the song in its album version.
For an independent band it was a genuine upset. It went to number one on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart, the first number one they had scored on any Billboard chart and the first by an independent artist on that chart in 11 years. After a single week on top it spent 11 more parked at number two behind Linkin Park's "New Divide", and it gave the band their first Hot 100 entry too, at 92.
