Synopsis
A child version of Ryan Ross opens a set of Russian nesting dolls, releasing the members of Panic! At The Disco into a vivid countryside. As the band explores the landscape, each member splits into younger and older versions of himself. The child versions run through the hills while the adult band plays instruments, rides penny-farthing bicycles, and rows a boat. The playful journey through childhood, adulthood, and old age ends with the band sailing toward the sunset.
Factoids & Trivia
- Cameron Boyce plays the young Ryan Ross. He was eight years old when the video was made, several years before becoming widely known for Disney's *Jessie* and *Descendants*.
- The video was produced as part of a promotional partnership with Nokia and premiered on NokiaUSA.com on May 2, 2008, before appearing on YouTube a few days later.
- The different versions of the band were intended to reflect the group's changing identity. The elderly figures represent the "old '06 Panic!", while the rowboat scenes represent the newer *Pretty. Odd.* era.
- Filming took place in the Los Angeles area in mid-February 2008. The surrounding countryside was chosen for its old-fashioned, European-looking atmosphere.
- The video's nesting-doll concept echoes the song's theme of personal change, turning the band's development from teenagers into a playful visual cycle of birth, growth, and aging.
