"The Ballad of Mona Lisa" is the song of the American rock band Panic! At the Disco, released on February 1, 2011 as the lead single for her third studio album, Vices & Virtues.
The Ballad of Mona Lisa, written by Brandon Uri, is one of the first tracks written for the third studio album.
Brandon Uri said that the main theme of the song is "split personality".
Criticism took the composition very well, comparing it with the first creations of the band, namely the album A Fever You Can not Sweat Out. However, the collective opposite called Mona Lisa "a new start and the beginning for the creation of the group".
US Billboard Rock Songs reached Number 50, 2011.
