at the Disco released as the third single from the project's fifth studio album, Death of a Bachelor, on October 21, 2015 through Fueled by Ramen and DCD2.

"Emperor's New Clothes" takes over as Brendon is in Heaven searching through the white light and fog, only to fall through a trap door down into Hell.
He becomes the new devil from materials (dust) around him; turning his skin grey, and at the end is smiling evilly while the red light surrounds him as screams of the damned and loud thumping is heard from off screen.
