Doechii heard the swamp “loud n clear” and dropped her “Anxiety” single on Tuesday (March 4) via Top Dawg Entertainment and Capitol Records.

She announced “Anxiety” approximately half an hour ahead of its arrival on X with the single’s cover art, which features a mirrored black-and-white image of the TDE rapper being connected by her braids.


“Anxiety” has been trending on TikTok over the last couple of weeks, but Doechii performed the original version five years ago on her YouTube channel. The single samples Gotye‘s 2011 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Somebody That I Used to Know,” featuring Kimbra.

The Florida MC’s same growling chorus — “Anxiety/ Keep on trying me/ I feel it quietly/ Tryna silence me, yeah/ My anxiety/ Can’t shake it off of me/ Somebody’s watching me/ And my anxiety” — was used on Sleepy Hallow‘s “ANXIETY” track, featuring Doechii,” from his 2023 album Boy Meets World. The song hit No. 3 on Bubbling Under Hot 100 and No. 31 on Rhythmic Airplay.

Doechii has been on a roll this year. She won her first Grammy last month for best rap album, becoming the third woman to take home the trophy following Cardi B and Lauryn Hill. And “Denial is a River” from her critically acclaimed 2024 mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal became her highest-charting entry on the Hot 100, peaking at No. 21.

Listen to “Anxiety” below.
