I Write Sins Not Tragedies is a song by the band Panic! At The Disco. The creation story is tied to Brendon Urie and Ryan Rosss experiences with materialism and superficiality they encountered in the music industry and weddings. The lyrics discuss a wedding where one of the guests is confronted with the brides infidelity. The song is notable for its critique of these themes, presented in an ironic and theatrical manner.
