After months of living in the algorithm’s gray market, “Drag Path” has officially entered the canon. Twenty One Pilots dropped the long-coveted track on streaming this week via Atlantic Records, cementing what fans already knew: the song had become a phenomenon before it ever had a proper release.
Originally tucked away as a limited bonus cut on Breach: Digital Remains — a one-week-only digital expansion of 2025’s chart-topping Breach — “Drag Path” slipped through the cracks and straight into the bloodstream of the internet. The track racked up more than 1.5 billion views across upwards of 75,000 user-generated videos, turning a hard-to-find deep cut into a grassroots juggernaut.
Rather than simply uploading the original, the duo returned to the studio to carve the song into a leaner, newly recorded version — a move that underscores how seriously they take the strange afterlife of their music online. It’s not just about feeding the demand; it’s about refining the narrative.
The official video, unveiled alongside the single, taps Danish filmmaker Tobias Gundorff for a visual adaptation inspired by one of his decade-old short films. Frontman Tyler Joseph reportedly reached out directly to reimagine the project for the band’s universe, resulting in a clip that blurs memory, mythology, and the band’s ongoing conceptual arc.
And the rollout doesn’t stop there. Next week brings Twenty One Pilots: More Than We Ever Imagined, a feature-length concert film hitting IMAX and cinemas worldwide on February 26, with early IMAX screenings beginning February 25. Tickets to a showing near you can be found here. The limited theatrical run arrives on the heels of last fall’s Clancy Tour: Breach 2025, which packed amphitheaters and stadiums across North America and culminated in two sold-out nights at BMO Stadium.
From there, the duo heads into a sprawling festival run that zigzags through North America and Europe, including appearances at Pinkpop Festival, Rock Werchter, Mad Cool Festival, Sziget Festival, and London’s All Points East, among others.
For a band that built its empire on intimacy and existential scale, “Drag Path” feels like another case study in how Twenty One Pilots weaponize scarcity. The internet found the song first. The band just made it official.
