"Anxiety" is a song by American singer and songwriter Julia Michaels featuring guest vocals from Selena Gomez, from her fourth EP, Inner Monologue Part 1 (2019).
[2] Upon its release, Gomez said on Instagram: "This song is really close to my heart as I've experienced anxiety and I know a lot of my friends do too.
Gomez and Michaels "trade cleverly arranged verses about the often-isolating experience of anxiety and depression".
[3] Paul Fletcher from iHeart Radio said "The track is centered around a plucky acoustic guitar part that settles into a slick pop groove.
Both Michaels and Gomez offer endearingly frank verses about grappling with depression and social anxiety, though their lyrics are also tinged with a bit of self-deprecating humor.
