Discover the story of the song > London Beckoned Songs About Money Written by Machines – Panic! At The Disco

The song tells the story of a young man who is trying to make a name for himself through his music. He is under pressure from critics and the media to perform and be successful. The lyrics suggest that he is being judged and scrutinized for every move he makes, and that he needs to be careful in order to succeed. The chorus speaks to his feelings of being a "wet dream" for the webzine and how he hopes to be either a hit or to be ignored by those who would judge him.
