Doechii pays homage to Gotye and Kimbra, enlists the help of her twin sisters, and recreate her real bedroom in a riveting music video for the viral single 'Anxiety.'

AceShowbiz - Doechii feels the angst in a music video for her viral hit "Anxiety." This visual extravaganza is a nod to Gotye and Kimbra's "Somebody That I Used to Know," which was sampled in the track.

The Grammy-winning artist, 26, deftly portrays the overwhelming nature of anxiety through a house teeming with dancers, dramatic visuals, and even a cameo from her younger twin sisters, reminiscent of the eerie twins from "The Shining".

The music video captures Doechii's struggle with feeling trapped, as she's whisked between rooms plagued with unsettling scenarios such as fires, break-ins, and disarrayed furniture.

In the refrain, she poignantly sings, "Anxiety, keep on trying me/I feel it quietly, tryna silence me, yeah," encapsulating the essence of her inner turmoil. The video cleverly ties these unnerving scenes to a surreal loop, underscoring the often cyclical nature of anxiety.

A standout element in the video is a recreation of Doechii's real-life bedroom from 2019, where she originally recorded "Anxiety." This nostalgic touch pays homage to the track's humble beginnings on YouTube, long before it climbed to #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 as a re-recorded version.

The song also sparked a dance sensation on TikTok, with over 1.8 million users, including notable figures like "The White Lotus" cast, Will Smith, and even "Sesame Street", joining in on the trend.

In a conversation with PEOPLE in March, Doechii described 2025 as a "transformative" year for her. With the release of this music video, it's clear why. "Truly. All of my dreams have become a reality, and I feel like I am literally walking in a dream," she shared, reflecting on her success at the Grammys, where she won Best Rap Album.

As fans continue to embrace "Anxiety," both the song and its video stand as testaments to Doechii's artistic vision and her ability to resonate deeply with listeners through the universal struggle of dealing with mental health challenges.
