Stressed Out was released by American duo Twenty One Pilots in 2015 as a single from their album Blurryface, written by Tyler Joseph. The song became a major international hit in 2016, topping charts and winning a Grammy for Best Pop Duo Group Performance. Its opening became familiar through radio, the official music video showing childhood scenes in a suburban neighbourhood, and later reuse in edits about nostalgia and anxiety. The beginning is still used because those first seconds instantly signal longing for a simpler time.
