Twenty One Pilots is rumored to drop a new song soon, as billboards and posters popped up in cities all over the world.

Twenty One Pilots fans have been hot on the trail for new music. After red tape appeared on the band’s previous albums across streaming services, billboards and posters popped up in various cities all over the world. From Poland to Toronto and Barcelona, the artwork/logo for the band’s new era is ubiquitous at this point.

Concurrently, fans have also been receiving cryptic DEMA mail, self-described “internal documents,” which have caused fans to fall down a rabbit hole in cracking the codes. For those not in the know, DEMA references a fictional location, meaning Tower of Silence, within the cinematic world the band has created through their albums.

With the latest flood of clues, all the stars are aligning for a new era. It does appear a new song is, in fact, on the horizon as revealed on a recent radio show.

Twenty One Pilots to allegedly release new song soon

During Alt Nation with Justin Kade, the radio host revealed that “new Twenty One Pilots coming soon,” he teased. “I don’t even know if I’m supposed to mention that on the air.”

“But here we are. You heard it here first,” he added.

A second radio programmer Steve Burrell said in a now-deleted post, “I just heard a new Twenty One Pilots song yesterday. It’s supposed to be a secret, but nobody is following me here anyway.”

Following the release of ‘Scaled and Icy’ in 2021, Tyler Joseph confessed he had already begun work on a new album. “Usually when we’re done working on a record I feel completely burnt out; I’ve put everything into it that I have, and I’m done with writing, done with music, for however long,” he said.

“And on this one, for some reason – maybe it’s because I know that we’re not going to go out and play shows [due to global health concerns] – after finishing it, I didn’t feel that same burnt-out feeling,” he added.

Fan account Bandito Hub speculated that a brand new Twenty One Pilots song is likely to drop on February 29. On the popular Pulse Music Board, user TheOutast suspected the new song will be called “Overcompensate,” and also noted the same release date.
