“Anxiety” by Doechii is a captivating track that explores themes of mental health and self-reflection.
Originally released in 2019 as part of her mixtape Coven Music Sessions, Vol. 1, the song features a unique blend of alternative R&B, rap, and experimental production elements. It prominently samples Gotye and Kimbra’s hit “Somebody That I Used to Know,” adding a layer of familiarity while maintaining an innovative edge.
The lyrics delve into feelings of being overwhelmed and watched, creating a relatable narrative for listeners. The song’s journey to mainstream recognition is quite remarkable. Initially, it received limited attention due to Doechii’s smaller following at the time.
However, it gained significant traction in early 2025 through social media platforms like TikTok. Users created horror-themed trends using the song, which quickly went viral and led to high demand for an official streaming release.
This resurgence highlights the power of social media in reviving older tracks and bringing them into the spotlight.
Anxiety Doechii Lyrics
Anxiety
Keep on tryin’ me
I feel it quietly
Tryin’ to silence me, yeah
My anxiety
Can’t shake it off of me
Somebody’s watchin’ me
And my anxiety, yeah
Solo, no mojo
I bounce back, no pogo
Unhappy, no homo
New brands, no logos
Money on my jugular, natural hustler
Think I need a smuggler up in Russia
You could be my butler, shine my cutla’
Shout out to Oyenda, that’s the guzzler
Okay, next thing, my life is a wet dream
I call it a sex scene, the back is a nice tease
I tried to escape, my life is a X-rate
I’m sorry, a sex tape, you only get one take
Quiet on the set, please
Rolling anxiety
In three, two, one
Anxiety
Keep on tryin’ me
I feel it quietly
Tryin’ to silence me, yeah
Anxiety
Can’t shake it off of me
Somebody’s watchin’ me
It’s my anxiety, yeah
Anxiety, anxiet—, oh, I feel it tryin’
Keep it tryin’, keep it tryin’
Oh, I feel the silence
Keep it quiet, keep it tired, oh, somebody’s touchin’ me
Anxiety, anxiet—, oh, I feel anxiet—
My anxiety, anxiet—, oh, I feel it tryin’ (It’s my anxiety, can’t let it conquer me)
Keep it tryin’, keep it tryin’, oh, I feel the silence (It’s my anxiety, gotta shake it off of me)
Keep it quiet, keep it quiet, oh, somebody’s watchin’ me (It’s my anxiety, can’t let it caution me)
Anxiety, anxiet—, oh, I feel anxiety (It’s my anxiety, gotta keep it off of me)
Anxiety, anxiet—, oh, I feel it tryin’
Keep it tryin’, keep it tryin’
Oh, I feel the silence
Keep it quiet, keep it quiet
Oh, somebody’s watching me
Anxiety, anxiet—, oh, I feel anxiety
Court order from Florid-er
What’s in that clear blue water?
No limits, no borders
What’s in that new world order?
Marco (Marco), Polo (Polo)
Negro run from popo (Popo)
That blue light and that rojo (Rojo)
And it’s like
I get this tightness in my chest
Like an elephant is standing on me
And I just let it take over
Anxiety keeps on trying me
Anxiety keeps on tryin’ me, yeah, ooh
Anxiety, anxiet—, oh, I feel it tryin’
Keep it tryin’, keep it tryin’
Oh, I feel the silence
Keep it quiet, keep it quiet
Oh, somebody’s watchin’ me (Oh, it keeps on trying me)
Anxiety, anxiet—, oh, I feel anxiet— (It keeps on trying, t-trying, trying, oh)
My anxiety, it’s my anxiety, can’t shake it off of me (It’s my anxiety)
It’s my anxiety, gotta keep it off of me (Can’t shake it off of me)
It’s my anxiety, can’t shake it off of me (Oh, somebody’s watchin’ me)
It’s my anxiety, gotta keep it off of me
Can’t shake it off of me, shake, shake it off of me
It’s my anxiety, gotta keep it off of me
Can’t shake it off of me, shake, shake it off of me
It’s my anxiety, gotta keep it off of me
Me
Me
