Doechii is feeling the heat in the newly released Doechii Anxiety Music Video, dropped on Friday, April 18. The Grammy-winning artist brings a visual storm to her 2019 track “Anxiety,” originally recorded in her bedroom and now reimagined with stunning creativity. The video pays tribute to Gotye and Kimbra’s iconic “Somebody That I Used to Know,” which Doechii cleverly sampled in the track.
Inside the chaotic scenes of the video, Doechii, 26, is seen moving through a house that seems to echo her internal state—walls catching fire, intruders breaking through windows, and furniture shifting on its own. In a surreal twist, she dances outside in her underwear, capturing that familiar, dreamlike sense of panic. These scenes reflect a mind overwhelmed, mirroring the worst-case scenarios our brains sometimes invent.
Her sisters even appear as eerie twin figures—a direct nod to The Shining. A specific scene where two figures are painted into a wall, their makeup blending with the background, directly mirrors visuals from Gotye’s original video. The detail brings a nostalgic but fresh energy to the Doechii Anxiety Music Video.
Behind the Sound of the Doechii Anxiety Music Video
Back in March, Doechii opened up about the roots of “Anxiety,” a song she initially dropped as part of her self-made mixtape Coven Music Sessions Vol. 1. Although it started as a YouTube-only release, interest soared after rapper Sleepy Hallow sampled it in his own track, also titled “Anxiety.” That version went viral on TikTok, pushing fans to rediscover Doechii’s original.
As a subtle tribute to the song’s origin, she recreated her old bedroom down to the pink storage bins and hanging tapestry. The entire visual journey ends in a clever loop, showing Doechii watching herself—perfectly capturing the idea that anxiety often begins and ends within our own minds.
This year has been massive for Doechii. After performing at the Grammys and taking home Best Rap Album, she described 2025 as “transformative.” With the Doechii Anxiety Music Video, she’s once again proven her talent for turning raw emotion into art that resonates.
