Transcription

Background

Official logo used for "Shy Away"

Tyler Joseph, the frontman of the duo, wrote "Shy Away" for his younger brother, Jay Joseph, as a tutorial on how to operate a recording studio.[1] During the recording, Joseph's daughter made a cooing noise which Joseph decided to keep in the song.[1]

The song was created while communicating virtually as the COVID-19 pandemic limited interaction between the members of the band.[2] It was released two days after the announcement of Scaled and Icy, the band's sixth studio album.

Composition

"Shy Away" is a "propulsive" synth-pop,[3] alternative rock,[3] indie rock,[4] and pop rock[5] song that runs for a duration of two minutes and fifty-five seconds. According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Alfred Music, it is written in the time signature of common time at a tempo of 196 beats per minute.[6] "Shy Away" is composed in the key of C major, while Joseph's vocal range spans one octave and four notes, from a low E3 to a high of A4.[6]

The track includes a "brief but tasteful" half-time breakdown for the "hardcore kids", and has been compared to the likes of artists such as the Strokes and Phoenix. It's considered to be one of the band's upbeat songs, and is synth-heavy, with elements of electronic, pop and indie music.[3][4][7]

Music video

The music video for the song, directed by Miles Cable and AJ Favicchio, was released concurrently with the song. The video showcases the duo's new "era", and a new color scheme which changes during each album cycle. The video features the new colors prominently: vibrant shades of light blue, pink and occasional yellow.[8] In the video, a few background musicians portrayed by Joseph and Dun wear torn and burnt ski masks, a reference to the stylings of their earlier albums, Vessel and Blurryface.[8] As of April 2024, the video has surpassed 54 million views on YouTube.

Commercial performance

Within only two days of tracking, "Shy Away" made its debut at No. 20 on the US Billboard Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, and reached a peak of No. 7.[9] On the Alternative Airplay chart, the song peaked at No. 1, and remained at the peak position for 8 weeks. On the Rock Airplay chart, the track also reached No. 1. In its first full week of tracking, it reached No. 56 in both the United Kingdom and Ireland,[10][11] and peaked at No. 36 in Lithuania.[12] On the chart dated April 24, 2021, the song made its debut on the US Billboard Hot 100 at No. 87, also being the only track from the album to chart there, before it fell out the week after.
