"Anxiety" (stylized as "A N X I E T Y") is a song by American rapper Sleepy Hallow featuring American rapper and singer Doechii, released on September 15, 2023. It is the fifth single from the former's second studio album Boy Meets World, which was released the same day. Produced by Great John, this song contains a sample of the song "Anxiety" by Doechii, which itself samples "Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye featuring Kimbra, with the latter also containing a sample from "Seville" by Luiz Bonfá.

At the APRA Music Awards of 2025, the song was nominated for Most Performed Hip Hop / Rap Work.[1]

## Composition and release

[edit]

The song finds Sleepy Hallow discussing his anxiety and vulnerabilities concerning mental health,[2][3] such as his inability to think clearly or overcome his "demons", and how he aims to recover. In addition to this issue, he also denounces fame.

The chorus consists of a sample from "Anxiety" by Doechii.[2] "Anxiety", which itself samples "Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye featuring Kimbra, was released on YouTube by Doechii in 2019. Following the song going viral on TikTok in March 2025, Doechii released it to streaming services.[4][5]

## Music video

[edit]

The music video was directed by Nimi Hendrix and released on September 27, 2023. It shows Sleepy Hallow in a recording studio. The clip also features "infrared visual effects and trippy cinematographic tactics".[3]
