“Jumpsuit” by Twenty One Pilots

"Jumpsuit" is the sound of Twenty One Pilots ending a year of silence with a shove, the song that threw open the door to Trench, their fifth studio album, in 2018. It shared lead-single duty with "Nico and the Niners" and went on to a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song.

The whole thing hangs on a bass riff Tyler Joseph dreamed up on the Emotional Roadshow World Tour, one he kept playing at sound checks long before it had a song around it. Joseph covers bass, electric guitar, piano and synths himself, with Josh Dun on drums and percussion; Joseph produced it with Paul Meany as co-producer, and Adam Hawkins mixed. By Joseph's own telling, Trench was headed toward something lighter and softer until this track came along and wrecked the plan.
