"High Hopes" was released with the album Pray for the Wicked, the band's sixth album. It was released in 2018.
The idea, according to the band, was brainstormed in a hot tub.
It peaked at #4 on the top 100s list and was the biggest hit of their career, surpassing their previous hit "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" that peaked at #10.
The song came from the beginning of a fresh realization for Urie that he'd been setting his bar too low amidst all the turbulence within the band.

Similar: Say Amen (Saturday Night)
Same upbeat energy, similar build to the chorus, and the tempos almost match.
https://youtu.be/KZ2iVfpvpyo
Different: Dying in LA
Much slower, more classical (piano), less upbeat and kind of depressing.
https://youtu.be/iahWWAr82Q0
All three songs come from PATD's album Pray for the Wicked which was released in 2018. It is also believed by critics that the lead singer's (Brendon Urie) experience with his performances in "Kinky Boots" helped him create this album.

High Hopes fits under the genre of alternative rock, this is expresed through the instrumentals within the song. It is set in the key of F and the song uses many eighth notes and a repetetive melody to create a memorable or catchy rythem. The song combines orchestral instruments with modern rythems to help produce a catchy beat. These instrumentals help build anticipation for the beat drop in the chorus where trumpets are used to create more energy in the song. There is also a use of heavy drums that give it more of a rock aspect and help the melody moving throughout the song.
