"Tear in My Heart" is the sunlit corner of Blurryface, Twenty One Pilots' 2015 album, a straight-up love song from Tyler Joseph to his wife Jenna that went out as a single that April. On a record mostly preoccupied with gloom, it's the moment the duo rolls the windows down: bright, bouncing piano rock, Josh Dun driving the beat, and a lyric about someone who jolts you out of standing still. The bridge comes from real life, Joseph behind the wheel for hours on the way home to Columbus, Ohio after a family trip while his future wife slept.
Joseph wrote it, Ricky Reed produced and played bass, with Joseph co-producing, and Neal Avron mixed. The whole giddy thing is over in a little more than three minutes.
