Level of Concern is a pandemic anthem

“Level of Concern” was written at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic (here’s when every American might be vaccinated, in case you were wondering). The first verse opens with, “Panic on the brain, world has gone insane // Things are starting to get heavy, mm” before asking, “Wondering’ would you bee my little quarantine?” Following the release of the song, Tyler Joseph tweeted, “First song i ever wrote on electric guitar. I think it’s simple but hopeful.” The song revealed Joseph’s concerns about the impact coronavirus was having on society and his anxieties about finding the right person to quarantine with. He writes, “Tell me we’re alright, tell me we’re okay, yeah // You could bring down my level of concern”.
At the time of the song’s release, Joseph also tweeted that he wanted a portion of the song’s earnings to go to a charity called Crew Nation, aimed at providing aid to people in the music industry that found themselves jobless at the hands of COVID-19. The duo partnered with Crew Nation again to sell hoodies that helped raise funds for their touring team (via Music Feeds). The duo wrote on their merchandise page, “Crew members are the backbone of the live music industry, and we hope you’ll join us in supporting them through this temporary intermission until we can once again unite millions around the world through the power of live music.”
