Doechii Drops 'Anxiety' Video: From Billboard Top 10 Hit to Mental Health Advocacy
April 18, 2025
The narrative of the video illustrates Doechii's struggle with anxiety, showcasing her navigating a chaotic home environment filled with bizarre situations.
The video begins in a recreation of Doechii's childhood bedroom, symbolizing a return to her roots and the song's inception, as she originally recorded 'Anxiety' in 2019.
Her accolades include being named Woman of the Year at the Billboard Women in Music event and receiving the Outstanding Music Artist award at the GLAAD Media Awards.
Doechii has unveiled the official music video for her hit song 'Anxiety,' which has rapidly gained popularity and reached the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.
The song's resurgence can be attributed to Brooklyn rapper Sleepy Hallow sampling it, which helped it gain traction on social media and streaming platforms.
Her music frequently addresses themes of mental health and self-awareness, appealing to both mainstream audiences and those seeking deeper artistic authenticity.
In line with her advocacy for mental health, Doechii launched a mental health initiative called Anxiety Is Watching Me, offering resources for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities.
In 'Anxiety,' Doechii showcases her lyrical prowess with lines like "Money on my juggla, natural hustler / Think I need a smuggler up in Russia."
The music video, co-directed by James Mackel, features a cinematic style and includes various unexpected elements, such as an elephant and a flash mob, enhancing its surreal atmosphere.
The single, released in March 2025 through Top Dawg Entertainment and Capitol Records, has achieved over 272 million global streams and garnered more than 23 billion views on social media.
As she continues to rise in the music industry, Doechii has collaborated with BLACKPINK's JENNIE and is set to perform at major festivals this summer.
With two successful hits under her belt, Doechii is expected to announce a new album or global tour, further solidifying her position as a genre-defying artist.
