"Stressed Out" is a song written and recorded by American musical duo Twenty One Pilots. Produced by Mike Elizondo and recorded at studios in Los Angeles and London, it was released as a promotional single from their fourth studio album, Blurryface (2015), on April 28, 2015, through Fueled by Ramen. The song later impacted US contemporary hit radio as the album's fourth official single on November 10. Elizondo initially took issue with the nature of the song's lyrical content, but relaxed after lead vocalist and songwriter Tyler Joseph explained the larger album concept.

"Stressed Out" is a midtempo alternative hip hop, alternative rock and rap rock song with elements of psychedelic music. The track is built from synths and a Caribbean-style keyboard line alongside rapping vocals by Joseph. Lyrically, it addresses the end of adolescence, touching on insecurities and millennial angst while also discussing life challenges. Throughout the song, Joseph personifies the album's titular character, Blurryface, whose self-deprecating lyrics express self-doubt and anxiety, stressing over personal issues ranging from his music to the idea of becoming an adult.

Upon its release, "Stressed Out" received favorable reviews from contemporary music critics. The song was a sleeper hit, peaking at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, giving the duo their first top ten hit in the US. The song topped the US Billboard Hot Rock Songs for a record 23 weeks. It also peaked at number one on the Billboard Adult Top 40, Rock Airplay, and Mainstream Top 40. It also led Twenty One Pilots to become the first rock act to have a song reach a billion streams on Spotify. "Stressed Out" was certified 13x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of over thirteen million copies. The song reached the top five on charts in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Ecuador, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Russia, Slovakia, and Switzerland.

An accompanying music video was directed by Eshleman and primarily filmed at drummer Josh Dun's home in Columbus, Ohio. It features a mixture of surreal visuals and existential scenes while portraying the duo riding tricycles for a playdate and attempting to relive their childhood. In the video, black paint can be seen on the neck and hands of Joseph, referencing the character Blurryface. At the 59th Annual Grammy Awards, "Stressed Out" was nominated for Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, winning the latter.

Background and recording

[edit]

"At the time I heard the song, I had no idea what Blurryface was, and I was kind of scratching my head going, 'Dude, uh, what's Blurryface?'"[1]

—Mike Elizondo discussing the song's concept with Billboard

During the promotion of their forthcoming studio album, Joseph began wearing black paint in every video and live performance.[2] Both the lyrics of "Stressed Out" as well as the paint reference the name and titular character of their album, Blurryface (2015).[2] "Stressed Out" musically acts as an introduction to the alter ego of "Blurryface" with its haunting refrain.[3][4] His identity rises to surface during the song's nursery-rhyme pre-chorus refrain, where he sings, "My name's 'Blurryface' and I care what you think."[1][4] 

The thematic elements of the duo's second major-label studio album and identity of Blurryface and come into focus on "Stressed Out".[1] Their loose concept album had been about Joseph attempting to defeat the alter ego of the titular monster-image representing his insecurities and self-hatreds.[4] An emphasis is placed on the concept of the character, who manifests within "Stressed Out" as well as throughout their studio album and appeared in its promotional campaign.[1][5] In an interview with MTV News, Joseph elaborated, "It's a guy that kind of represents all the things that I as an individual — but also everyone around me — am insecure about. When I think about insecurities and my insecurities are getting the best of me, the things that I think of are kind of a feeling of suffocation and then also the things that I create with my hands... Very dramatic, I know, but it helps me get into that character".[2]

"Stressed Out" was written by Joseph from the perspective of the character Blurryface rather than some impersonal third-person narrator.[1] His lyricism is filled with couplets and one-line rhyme schemes pertaining to definitive generational concerns.[1] Tyler Joseph was in his mid-20s at time of the single's release.[1] He was speaking as a member of generation engulfed in college loan debt and sharing their anxieties while feigning apathy and yearning peer acceptance all over social media.[1] For a time, record producer Mike Elizondo was worried Joseph's specificity would limit the single's reception among the larger populace.[1] In retrospect, Elizondo said, "We can all kind of relate to wanting to have more of those simpler days. I think he nailed it; though the lyrical content is very specific to him, the listener is able to impose their own story onto it. That type of feeling will never go away."[1]

"Stressed Out" was produced by Mike Elizondo and recorded at Can Am in Los Angeles, California and at Livingston Studios in London, England.[6] The track was then mixed at the Casita in Hollywood, California.[7] During its recording, Elizondo had but one grievance in regards to the song.[1] Speaking with front-man and principal songwriter Tyler Joseph, he opined that to the average listener, its lyrical content would come off as esoteric. Elizondo recalled, "So I had a good conversation with him trying to say, 'Hey, maybe you should change that; it's a great melody, it's a big hook of the song, but I just don't know what it means."[1] He soon relaxed on the issue after Joseph provided an explanation of the larger album concept.[1]

Composition

[edit]

"Stressed Out" is a mid-tempo[1] alternative hip hop,[6] alternative rock[8] and rap rock[9][10] song that runs for a duration of three minutes and twenty-two seconds.[11] The musical composition has a throwback to rock music and psychedelic pop while maintaining clear pop sensibilities.[10][12] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Alfred Music, it is written in the time signature of common time, with a moderate tempo of 85 beats per minute.[11] "Stressed Out" is composed in the key of A minor,[13] while Tyler Joseph's vocal range spans one octave and four notes, from a low of E3 to a high of A4.[11] The song has a basic sequence of F–Dm–Am in the verses, pre-chorus and outro, changes to Am–G–C–E at the refrain and follows Am–G–C5–E during the bridge as its chord progression.[11]

Opening with its drumbeat, the linear musical arrangement is structured around the phrase, "My name is Blurryface and I care what you think."[10][14] The track is built from wobbly synths, a Caribbean style keyboard line and rapped vocals by Tyler Joseph.[5] The song is punctuated by brief bursts of string section and synths as well as eerie, theremin-like sounds that underscore his vocals.[1] During its verses, Joseph recites deceptively simple lyrics atop the track's earworm beat.[15] Joseph's rapping has him delivering confessional lines in a conversational tone.[1] Following its refrain, the eerie melody precedes the second verse.[5] The musical composition has downbeat atmosphere, with lyrical content focusing on personal themes.[5] 

Lyrically, "Stressed Out" is about the harsh end of adolescence.[9] The song is an ode with lyrics speaking on the transition from adolescence to adulthood and nostalgia for the innocence of childhood.[6][16] They touch on adolescent insecurity and address millennial angst while discussing relatable life challenges.[17][18] Joseph's self-deprecating lyrics express anxiety over everything from his music to growing older.[3] His poignant lyrics convey a narrative illustrating young men who discover that life as an adult is plagued with issues.[19][20] Throughout the track, Joseph personifies the parent album's titular character, "Blurryface."[2] He is a character within a story who represents Joseph's self-doubt and insecurities.[3] At the song's pre-chorus, he sings, "My name's 'Blurryface' and I care what you think."[4] Blurryface's insecurities lies in the idea of growing up and becoming an adult.[2] He sings about the desire to return to "the good 'ol days" and the tree houses of their carefree youth.[1][20] His voice pines for a time prior to stress of reality, such as student loans and the pressure to get a job and find success.[1] During the chorus, Joseph chants, "Wish we could turn back time /to the good old days/when our mom would sing us to sleep/but now we're stressed out."[21] The song closes with an outro where external voices suggest the need to wake up because they need to make money.[1][22]

Critical reception

[edit]

Jia Tolentino of The New Yorker stated the song's chorus is as "bright as its minor key will allow".[23] Philip Cosores and the staff of Consequence mentioned the song "resonates with listeners, as the two sing about 'the good 'ol days' before the stress of reality set in".[24] Randy Holmes for ABC News Radio described the track as a "multi-genre breakout hit",[25] while Madison Desler of the Orange County Register called it a "monster hit".[26] Rachel Aroesti for The Guardian said "Stressed Out" is a "mode that is both evergreen and all the rage".[27] Larry Fitzmaurice of Vulture opined the track is "arguably the most noxious quality of Twenty One Pilots' sound—front and center".[28] The Sydney Morning Herald critic George Palathingal deemed the song as "catchy", and "essentially inoffensive".[29] Tampa Bay Times' Jay Cridlin lauded it as an "arena-shaking hit".[30] Molly Lambert of MTV wrote that the song "has a haunted, music-hall feeling, and a slightly embarrassing but highly effective earnestness in its longing for a romanticized, innocent past". She continued, saying it "genuinely stressed me out at first, with its herky-jerk from the verses into the chorus, but I eventually found myself constantly sing-saying 'My name’s Blurryface and I care what you think' under my breath in all kinds of situations".[31]

Critic Cole Waterman of Spectrum Culture called "Stressed Out" one of the album's best songs.[32] The staff of Loudwire said that while they were listening to the songs lyrics, it was "not hard to see why the song has resonated with so many music fans".[33] Peter Sblendorio from New York Daily News considered the song a "radio staple".[34] Writing for The Salt Lake Tribune, Sean P. Means felt that the song is "nostalgia-tinged".[35] Andja Curcic of Renowned for Sound commented that it "places an importance on lyrics that look at the transition from adolescence to adulthood".[36] The Oregonian reviewer Troy L. Smith felt that the song hit a "radio-friendly sweet spot".[37] Variety's Chris Willman stated the "mortal concerns" of Twenty One Pilots 2018 album Trench makes him feel "a little nostalgic", and wanted some of the "in-your-face youth angst of 'Stressed Out'".[38] In her review for The New York Times, Caryn Ganz called the song an "anxiety anthem" and mentioned it is known for its "sing-songy chorus".[39] Chris Deville of Stereogum considered it as the "probably the most linear" song the group has made, and said it still manages to merge Sublime, Portishead, and ASAP Rocky.[14] Slate's Carl Wilson criticized the song, stating the song's refrain is "menacingly flat and paranoiacally self-conscious in affect".[4]

Retrospectively, critics have considered "Stressed Out" one of Twenty One Pilots' best songs. Jason Pettigrew of Alternative Press called it a "diamond" and stated "Gen X boredom gives way to exasperated millennial neurosis" during the track.[40] Bryony Symes from Louder Sound opined that "Stressed Out" is the group's best song to date and that the "kind of complex melody, with its slew of catchy hooks, that will get caught in a loop in your head, and have you humming along for hours after you’ve heard it".[41] Writing for Cleveland.com, Anne Nickoloff and Troy Smith mentioned it was "going to be a hit right from the opening beat" and that it is as "pure of a rap-rock song the band has written, but its pop sensibility is clear. Even Tyler Joseph's self-deprecating lyrics couldn't slow its momentum".[10] Sam Law for Kerrang! deemed the track is a "pop culture changing of the guard fading the disenfranchisement of Generation X into the neuroses of their millennial successors, deceptively simple lyrics". He continued, depicting it "feels judderingly relevant but also destined to live forever".[15] In 2018, Louder Sound ranked the song number one on their list of the 10 greatest Twenty One Pilots songs,[42] and in 2020, Kerrang ranked the song number three on their list of the 20 greatest Twenty One Pilots songs.[43]

Music video

[edit]

Background and synopsis

[edit]

Upon Blurryface's release, Twenty One Pilots had been touring for a long time. When it was time to make a music video for "Stressed Out", the group had been feeling homesick from excessive touring. Eshleman arranged a time for the group to return to their hometown of Columbus, Ohio to shoot the video and finally be with their loved ones.[93] Most of the video was shot at Dun's childhood home, subsequently making it a destination for fans of the duo to visit. Dun said his parents have since had to cancel their landline telephone service in order to stop calls coming in at all hours.[9] The surrealistic video retains a mixture of existential sequences and draws visual cues from fairy tales such as Alice in Wonderland.[22] They follow a theme of the desire to forever remain a child forever in his family home to taking a journey into a disorienting environment.[22] 

Twenty One Pilots released the video for "Stressed Out" on April 27, 2015,[2][21] and it was directed by Reel Bear Media.[94] The video depicts a bleak narrative set in a dreary suburban neighborhood.[19][22] The story begins on a partly cloudy day with Joseph pedalling down a street on a three wheeler.[22] Throughout the music video, black paint can be seen on his neck and hands.[2] Joseph arrives at a house and goes inside. He enters a bedroom where Dun is waiting for him.[22] The two perform the song with a young man who lives there, and within the mind of the young man dwelling inside the house who resembles the two save their tattoos and colored hair.[22] At one point, the pair drink Capri Suns while sitting near a curb.[21] The scene then changes to Joseph and Dun lying in beds as members from their combined families who are dressed in black watch them sleep and all chant in unison "Wake up, you need to make money".[9][21]

Reception

[edit]

Writing for Diffuser, Michael Haskoor described it as a "perfectly paired visual", and said it is way more "minimalist than their video for the explosive "Tear in My Heart" and seems to fit well with the song's chorus".[21] Courtney E. Smith of Radio.com compared the visual to Scottish novelist J. M. Barrie's 1904 play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up,[22] while Brenna Enrlich of MTV News compared it to the works of American rock band Blink-182 and stated the video is about "growing up and being an adult and whatnot. I think we can all relate to that".[2] Cassie Whitt from Alternative Press opined it is a "sentiment any recent entrant into adulthood can relate".[19] The video received a nomination for Best Music Video at the 2016 Alternative Press Music Awards.[95] It was also nominated for Favorite Music Video at the 2017 Kids' Choice Awards.[96][97]

Live performances

[edit]

"Stressed Out" has since become a fan favorite at live concert venues.[98] Twenty One Pilots performed "Stressed Out" on Late Night with Seth Meyers on September 21, 2015.[99] Twenty One Pilots performed "Stressed Out" on their 2016 Emotional Roadshow World Tour in Ohio, with Joseph altering the lyrics of the first verse, which now criticize the song's success.[100] Twenty One Pilots performed the song during a concert at the UNSW Roundhouse in Sydney, Australia on April 20, 2016.[98]
