First recorded in her bedroom in 2019, “Anxiety” appeared on Doechii’s 2020 self-released mixtape Coven Music Sessions. On the roughly four-minute track, she adlibs, raps and sings over the instrumental from Gotye’s 2011 hit song with Kimbra, “Somebody That I Used To Know.” Until now, the track had never appeared on DSPs—however the rapper Sleepy Hallow sampled “Anxiety” on his track of the same name in 2023.

Earlier this year, Doechii’s critically acclaimed debut album Alligator Bites Never Heal won a Grammy for Best Rap Album, making Doechii the third woman in history after Lauryn Hill and Cardi B to receive the honor. She also earned the Hip-Hop Distruptors award at Variety’s annual Hitmakers event.

Speaking to Rolling Stone last year, Doechii shared of compiling Alligator Bites Never Heal: “Curating it, I went in with the intention of context. That was a big thing for me. Sometimes projects can feel long when there’s no context to what you’re talking about. There’s no story or no narration to build on. I felt like it was necessary for me to tell my story in detail and in many different ways, through many different beats. And it was important for us to go in chronological order of what has happened to me, how that has made me feel, how I overcame it, and where I am now.”
