My Blood

"My Blood" is a song written and recorded by the American musical duo Twenty One Pilots. The song was released as the fourth single from their fifth studio album, Trench, on August 27, 2018. The video for the official audio clip displays Tyler Joseph in a dark home recording studio. The visual came after their trilogy storyline told through the videos for "Jumpsuit", "Nico and the Niners" and "Levitate". An accompanying music video for "My Blood" was released on the morning of October 5, 2018, arriving merely hours after the release of their fifth studio album. The song peaked at No. 81 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Background "My Blood" was released as the fourth single on the night of August 27, 2018. It was the latest glimpse into a dark rebel story supporting their fifth studio album Trench. The song's lyrics potentially continue the storyline that first emerged from the three album tracks that had been released, "Jumpsuit", "Nico and the Niners" and "Levitate". They had begun laying out the story of Nico and the Nine, a group appearing to be the new version to the tormented character of Blurryface and the rebel group the Banditos. However, it has not been confirmed if "My Blood" is a continuation of the story encompassing the trilogy of official music videos, but the lyrics do appear to have a maverick spirit in the third verse. Composition "My Blood" is a disco-tipped indie rock song that lasts for a duration of three minutes and forty-nine. The moody, groove-driven track contains R&B hooks and has a throbbing beat underpinned with robotic drums and thick funk generated by a rolling, distorted bass line. According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Alfred Music, it is written in the time signature of common time, with a moderately fast tempo of 109 beats per minute. "My Blood" is composed in the key of A major while Tyler Joseph's vocal range spans two octaves, from the low-note of E♭3 to the high-note of E♭5. Lyrically, "My Blood" is an uplifting number that contains inspirational lines. The song feature lyrics that illustrate supporting someone who is being attacked after being abandoned by friends. They convey the idea not being alone, even when one feels desperately isolated.
