Twenty One Pilots Premieres New Song “The Contract” on BBC Radio 1
Last month, American alt-rock duo Twenty One Pilots, consisting of Tyler Joseph (vocals/keyboards) and Josh Dun (drums), announced their eighth studio album “Breach” would be released September 5, 2025 via Fueled by Ramen.
The album is the follow-up to the 2024 album “Clancy”, with the duo's decade-long conceptual series which began with the 2015 album “Blurryface”.
The duo said, “Hello Clancy, hello Blurryface. Let's finish this.”
From the album, the duo premiered the first single called “The Contract” on BBC Radio 1's New Music Show with Jack Saunders.
The track was written by Dominic Matheson, Matt Schwartz, Paul Meaney, and Tyler Joseph. Produced by Tyler Joseph, and Paul Meany.
The accompanying music video was directed by Frédéric De Pontcharra.- The band lead singer Tyler Joseph told Zane Lowe of Apple Music about the album. “We kind of played it like our last record, 'Clancy' was going to be the end of the story. And we eventually knew it was going to be a cliffhanger, the way to end it. And I think that we felt a little like we had just done like a misdirection to the fans. We never, like to pull the rug out from under them, so intentionally, knowing that we wanted to name the the following record 'Breach' was kind of this like, play on, we kind of breached their trust a bit in a way that actually ties into the story that we're telling as well. So, it felt like it worked. But it is like, officially this album 'Breach' is the last album. That's telling the story will end with this one.”
