Bild: Twenty One Pilots - Blurryface
Twenty One Pilots are currently on tour across Europe – we already shared the full setlist here. Who knows how long it would have taken the band to notice the renewed TikTok hype around one of their not-so-new songs if Tyler Joseph’s mom hadn’t given him a call?
We’re talking about a demo version of their track “Doubt”, originally featured on their hugely successful 2015 album Blurryface.
At their recent concert in Poland, Tyler Joseph shared the story live on stage:
“I’d like to tell you something real quick. So, a couple days ago, my mom called me and she said, ‘Hey, did you know you have a song blowing up on TikTok?’ I said, ‘Really, which one?’ And she said, ‘Well, not only is it a 10-year-old song, but it’s actually the demo version of that song as well.’
“So I called Josh [Dun] and I said, you know, ‘I still have that demo version just chilling on a hard-drive at home.’ So sometime later tonight, we’d like to announce here in Poland, that we are gonna officially release the demo version of Doubt tonight.”
Said and done. You can listen to the officially released demo version of “Doubt” right here:
