About this song
"Shy Away" is the lead single from twenty one pilots' sixth studio album, Scaled And Icy. The track was revealed after multiple posters for the band's Livestream Experience concert were found on the dmaorg.info website, similar to the way Trench was announced.
What it's about
The song grew out of a conversation frontman Tyler Joseph had with his younger brother about his songwriting process, and it became a letter of advice encouraging him to pursue his dreams in music. Tyler did not specify which brother he meant, though it is likely Jay Joseph, who released his first solo music, Drywall, one month before the song came out.
