"Stressed Out" is a song written and recorded by American alternative hip hop band Twenty One Pilots for their fourth studio album, Blurryface (2015). Written by Tyler Joseph and produced by Mike Elizondo, the lyrics discuss the harsh end of adolescence and the transition to adulthood. The song was released as a single on April 28, 2015 on the Google Play Store[3] and Amazon,[4] and was issued to top 40 radio stations on November 10.[5] "Stressed Out" reached number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, and number one on Alternative Songs, Hot Rock Songs, Adult Pop Songs and Pop Songs.

Background and composition

The song focuses on nostalgia for childhood, the pressure of adulthood,[6] and family relationships, and speaks from the point of view of "Blurryface", the album's title character.[7][8] The line, "My name's Blurryface, and I care what you think"[9] is heard in the pre-chorus, alluding to marketing the duo did for the album.[10]

Musically, "Stressed Out" is written in the key of A minor, following a chord progression of F - Dm - Am in the verses and F - C - Am - G - Am - G - C - E in the chorus, while it moves at a tempo of 85 beats per minute. The vocals in the song span from E4 to A5.[11]

Music video

The music video for "Stressed Out" was released on YouTube worldwide on April 27, 2015,[12] directed by Mark C. Eshleman (Reel Bear Media).[12] In the video, the band members ride big-wheel tricycles to each other's houses to record the song.[13] They filmed most of the "Stressed Out" video at Josh Dun's childhood home in Ohio. Many members of Dun's and Tyler Joseph's family appear in the video.[1] "Stressed Out" was nominated for Best Music Video at the 2016 Alternative Press Music Awards.[14]

Chart performance

In the United States, "Stressed Out" climbed 13–9 for the chart dated January 16, 2016, becoming the group's first top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. Also that week, the song charted at number 4 on Digital Songs (159,000 downloads that week), and rose 14–12 on Radio Songs (59 million in radio audience) and 26–20 on Streaming Songs (7.1 million U.S. streams). The track topped Billboard's Hot Rock Songs chart for a second week, led the Alternative Songs Airplay chart for a ninth week, also crossing over to mainstream audiences, rising 14–13 on the Mainstream Top 40 and bulleting at number 20 on Adult Top 40.[15]

For the chart issue dated January 30, 2016, the song ascended 5–4 on the Hot 100. The single surged 4–2 on Digital Songs (121,000 downloads that week) and entered the top 10 on both Radio Songs (11–7; 92 million in radio audience) and Streaming Songs (13–9; 10 million streams), adding top Streaming Gainer honors on the Hot 100. It also led Billboard's Hot Rock Songs chart for a fourth week.[16] A commissioned house remix by Dave Winnel helped the single reach number nine on Dance/Mix Show Airplay in its February 13, 2016 issue.[17]

The song reached number two in its 21st week on the Hot 100, behind "Love Yourself" by Justin Bieber. The track climbed 3–2 on Radio Songs (141 million in audience) and 4–3 on Digital Songs (selling 102,000 that week); and, despite a 4–6 dip on Streaming Songs, it gained by 2 percent to 13.5 million streams. The single, which led Billboard's Hot Rock Songs chart for an eighth week, is the first title that has also appeared on Hot Rock Songs to rank in the Hot 100's top two in more than a year, since Hozier's "Take Me to Church" spent its third and final week at its number 2 peak on the January 3, 2015, Hot 100.[18]

"Stressed Out" is the first former Alternative Songs number one to top Mainstream Top 40 in more than two-and-a-half-years, since Lorde's "Royals" in 2013. It was the first by a duo or group to do so in nearly four years, since Fun's "We Are Young" (featuring Janelle Monáe) in 2012.[19]

In the United Kingdom, "Stressed Out" became the duo's first single to chart on the UK Singles Chart, debuting at number thirty four and peaking at number twelve.[20]

Twenty One Pilots performed "Stressed Out" on Late Night with Seth Meyers on September 14, 2015.[21] The song was part of their setlist at Lollapalooza 2015.[22]
