If you’ve ever had an anxiety attack in public, you’ve probably been told by those around you to breathe. This song from Ariana Grande is an ode to that – to the feeling of being overwhelmed and overdone that leads to being able to focus on nothing more than your breath. The song also tackles the complexities of life that lead to feeling overwhelme...
Help is an iconic song by an iconic band, but it’s also a song that’s very easy to read as being about feelings of anxiety. The feeling of helplessness and the resulting gratitude felt by many when someone notices are on display in this song, with the catchy lyrics hiding a lot of pain. Even Paul McCartney has gone so far as to confirm that the lyr...
Ever feel like fear and anxiety are following you, closing in and no one seems to notice or care? Hamish Anderson wrote his song Trouble about this feeling which many people with anxiety experience.
In our interview with the Arkells frontman Max Kerman we asked them the inspiration for their single “American Screams.” It was based on the anxiety they saw they saw touring around the country, “We drive around the US a lot and we saw all these apocalyptic billboards about God and the end of the world.” With lyrics like this, it’s a testament to a...
If you’ve ever spent a sleepless night wandering around town because your brain just wouldn’t stop working, Overkill will speak to you. This song by Colin Hay is probably best known for being featured in an episode of Scrubs, but it’s an incredibly relatable song for anyone who has ever spent too much time thinking too hard about things that might ...
Dear Evan Hansen is one of those musicals that replicates a certain type of high school anxiety that’s almost too hard to watch for those who have been there. Waving Through a Window is one of the most real songs about social anxiety, featuring not only the stress that comes with feeling invisible but also the longing that accompanies being outside...
Plenty of Linkin Park’s lyrics are about depression and anxiety, but few of them are as visceral as crawling. With its evocative lyrics, it nails the feeling of uncomfortableness that many have in their own skins, with the pain of anxiety creating a constant wound that never seems to go away. Driven and angry, it’s also a song about anxiety that’s ...
Green Day has a number of songs in their catalog about feeling depressed or otherwise unwell and Basketcase is among the best of the bunch. It makes use of a simple musical structure to take listeners through a whirlwind ride through the singer’s anxiety – moving from wondering if he’s overstepping by sharing to detailing all the failed attempts he...
Matchbox 20’s catalog isn’t exactly full of songs about mental health, but Unwell is a rare exception that talks about feeling a little bit unwell. The feeling of being unable to sleep, of being on the road to a breakdown even though you just can’t quite say why – these are common among those who deal with anxiety and echoed well in the song. The s...
With thoughts so loud that they overwhelm speech, Modest Mouse’s song about anxiety is all about the problems that come from getting stuck in a loop. Instead of making constructive changes, the singer is stuck in a pattern of starting over that is supported by intrusive thoughts and an inability to break out. Though this can certainly be applied to...

- Pressure, Billy Joel. “You have to learn to pace yourself (pressure). You're just like everybody else (pressure). You've only had to run so far, so good, but you will come to a place.”
- Breathin’, Ariana Grande. “Some days, things just take way too much of my energy. I look up and the whole room's spinning. You take my cares away; I can so over-complicate, people tell me to medicate.”
- Basket Case, Green Day. “Sometimes, I give myself the creeps. Sometimes, my mind plays tricks on me. It all keeps adding up. I think I'm cracking up. Am I just paranoid or am I just stoned?”
- Shake It Out, Florence + the Machine. “And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back. But given half the chance, would I take any of it back? It's a fine romance, but it's left me so undone.
