Doechii's song Anxiety has an intriguing history! Originally recorded in 2019, she first released it on YouTube as part of her Coven Music Sessions. The song gained attention years later when rapper Sleepy Hallow sampled it in his own track of the same name in 2023.
In early 2025, Doechii's original version went viral on TikTok, prompting her to officially re-record and release it on streaming platforms on March 4, 2025. The song prominently samples Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know, blending Latin and African percussion with a xylophone melody.
Since its re-release, Anxiety has been a massive success, topping charts in multiple countries and even inspiring a dance trend on social media. It was later added as a bonus track to her mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal.
Doechii herself has spoken about the song's complex backstory, explaining how it evolved from a YouTube demo to a viral hit.
