The clip follows a viral version with Will Smith & Tatyana Ali
Doechii has dropped the official video for her new single, “Anxiety.” The track, which was released last month via Top Dawg Entertainment/Capitol Records, has already amassed over 272 million combined global streams, including 85 million U.S. streams, and more than 23 billion views across her social media.
Directed by James Mackel, the official video follows Doechii as she makes her way through an elegant home with an attentive staff. Yet this luxe setting is fraught with disturbing situations, including a kitchen fire, a menacing Doberman Pinscher, a falling chandelier and a team of window-busting intruders. She escapes to the street for a moment of peace only to be joined by upwards of 100 dancers, who only amp up her anxiety.
Last month, the superstar broke the internet by reuniting Fresh Prince of Bel-Air siblings Will Smith and Ashley Banks (Tatyana Ali) as they took part in the viral dance trend inspired by their show and “Anxiety.” Doechii made a surprise cameo in a new video posted by Smith as the actors recreate the widely imitated scene from a classic episode.
“Anxiety” is Doechii’s first single to enter the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100. The track is the top 20 at Top 40 and urban radio. “Anxiety” ranks in the top 10 at rhythm radio and follows her No. 1 rhythm radio hit “Denial is a River.”
Currently No. 12 on the Spotify Global chart, “Anxiety” is in the top 5 of the UK’s Official Singles chart while “Denial is a River” debuted at No. 1 on both the Official Physical Singles and Official Vinyl Singles charts, giving Doechii her first two leaders on the tallies.
