"Next Semester" is a song by American musical duo Twenty One Pilots, released on March 27, 2024, through Fueled by Ramen as the second single of their upcoming seventh studio album, Clancy.[1][2]
The song was accompanied by a music video directed by Andrew Donoho. On the same day, the band announced the Clancy World Tour.[3][4]
Composition
"Next Semester" is a punk-infused garage rock song[3] with lyrics that speak about the feeling of anxiety and an inescapable memory of standing on the road, in front of a moving vehicle, and escaping from being run over.[1][5] According to Joseph, the song is "about a panic attack [he had] in college."[6] The title alludes to the idea of starting fresh next semester.
Release
Following days of speculation, "Next Semester" was officially announced on March 23, 2024. The band stated the song would be released "next week" and provided a teaser of the music video.[7][8][9] The track was leaked online a day before its official release date, prompting Mark Eshleman of Reel Bear Media to clarify that the social media account leaking the track was not affiliated with the band.[10] The track, along with the music video, became available on March 27, 2024.[1]
Music video
On March 17, 2024, the music video was filmed at The Smell in downtown Los Angeles.[6] The music video for "Next Semester" was directed by Andrew Donoho with editing by Mark C. Eshleman and Tyler Joseph.[11] As of April 21, 2024, it has garnered over 4.3 million views on YouTube.[12] On April 17, 2024, the band released a behind-the-scenes video for the clip.[13]
The video features the band performing the song live in front of a crowd. The rest of the video consistently switches between shots of the concert and Joseph standing in the middle of a dimly lit road at night, presumably seen from the point-of-view of an oncoming vehicle.[5]
