Twenty One Pilots released their long-awaited new song and video ‘Overcompensate,’ and fans melted into tears.

Twenty One Pilots have finally made their comeback following a series of cryptic DEMA letters and red tape. After nearly three years since their last album, the duo have prepared their new record, Clancy.

Anchoring the release, lead-off single ‘Overcompensate’ finds the band reconfiguring their sound and even sampling the previously released ‘Bandito’ track.

The musical duo paired the song with an electric, “fire” new video, and fans erupted into a flood of emotions.

“Thanks for killing me once again,” said another.

“You guys cooked OMG,” added a third.

“Bandito lyrics. Sneaky. Do you want me to cry?” asked a user.

“I remember when my blood mv came out and I just got that same feeling when listening to overcompensate I can’t think rn I’m just feeling,” admitted another.

“THAT WAS INCREDIBLE (not pictured is me crying my eyes out),” a user said.

Twenty One Pilots’ Clancy features 13 songs with such titles as ‘Routines in the Night,’ ‘The Craving (Jenna’s Version),’ and ‘At the Risk of Feeling Dumb.’ The album drops everywhere on May 17, the ninth anniversary of the band’s commercial blockbuster Blurryface.
