Longtime Twenty One Pilots fans are absolutely ecstatic at the fact that an unreleased version of “Doubt”, one of the band’s hit songs from the 2015 album “Blurryface”, was released on Spotify just in time for the album’s 10th anniversary. This release wasn’t just sparked by the fanbase on social media, it felt like the whole world joined in.
The Announcement
Recently, during the Europe leg of the Clancy World Tour in Poland, Tyler Joseph, the lead singer and pianist, announced to the crowd:
“I called Josh and I said ‘You know, I still have that demo version just chilling on a hard drive’…So sometime later tonight, we are going to officially release the demo version of Doubt.”
Applause and cheers from over 13,000 fans in the Atlas Arena were instantaneously heard throughout the venue, symbolizing a mutual feeling of excitement for the clique’s hard work of (somehow) getting the audio to Joseph’s attention.
That night, the moment fans had hoped for finally arrived. But how did this demo even make its way to the light in the first place? With some quick research via TikTok, the demo’s origin was revealed.
The User Behind the Tune
The user, oddly named “Nobody,” is a Twenty One Pilots fan account who makes various artistic edits of the band’s music videos. Specifically, with a whopping 2.6 million views, the user’s most popular video is backed to “Doubt’s” alternate version.
Clikkies, Twenty One Pilots Fans, all over the world were shocked about this never-heard-before alter ego of a classic song.
This overwhelmed reaction wasn’t just noise – It was a whole movement. The community flooded multiple social media platforms with constant messages, portraying that just a simple little demo can mean so much more than what many think. This strong-willed dedication from the fanbase played a vital role in making the demo release happen. Through their passion and persistence, clikkies proved that their bond with this band runs deeper than just music.
This surprise release of a classic favorite isn’t just a celebration of “Blurryface’s” legacy, it’s proof that Twenty One Pilots continues to evolve while staying grounded with what fans love.
A decade later, Joseph and Dun still listen, respond, and grow with their fans through each era. As they continue on with the Clancy era, moments like these show us that no matter how much may change in ten years, the connection between the band and the clique never changes, remaining strong as ever.
Opinions from Mounties
Mounties have gone crazy for Doubt, ever since the song arrived on countless TikTok For You Pages and Instagram Reel feeds. Mounties shared how they discovered “Doubt,” and what their thoughts were.
“I first heard it on TikTok cause there’s usually that little clip of the song going around. And honestly, I feel like people kind of use [Doubt] for edits and stuff; sometimes in a funny way, but I feel like it’s really dramatic and kind of a deep song. I thought [Doubt] was good!” Kelly McDonald ‘26 said.
“Well I knew it before TikTok. I just remember it from when I was younger hearing [Doubt’s original version] on the radio. I like the remix version on TikTok better though. It made me add it on Spotify!”Ava Smith ‘26 said.
These reactions from fans and Mounties highlight how much Twenty One Pilots has resonated across platforms. Whether it’s one of their older songs or even a hidden demo, songs like “Doubt” remind us of the lasting impact a band can truly make. As the Clancy era begins to unfold, it is clear that the bond between various people – clique members and new listeners – is growing stronger.
