Twenty One Pilots cut "Level of Concern" in the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic and put it out on its own on April 9, 2020, through Fueled by Ramen; it later turned up on a reissue of their sixth album, Scaled and Icy (2021). Tyler Joseph wrote it and produced it with Mutemath's Paul Meany, and it bounces somewhere between dance-pop, pop rock and dance-rock, a lockdown groove that refuses to sit still.
The song stares straight at the fear and panic of that spring and still argues for hope, and part of what it earned went to Crew Nation, Live Nation's relief fund for road crews and venue staff knocked sideways by the pandemic. It climbed to 23 on the Billboard Hot 100, behind only "Stressed Out", "Heathens" and "Ride" among the duo's songs.
