"Lane Boy" on YouTube

"Lane Boy" is a song written and recorded by American musical duo Twenty One Pilots, for their fourth studio album, Blurryface. "Lane Boy" was released on YouTube worldwide on May 4, 2015, being released as a single on Google Play Store on the same day. The music video was released on July 20, 2015.

"Lane Boy" is a rebuttal of the idea that any band should stay in its "lane". Tyler Joseph will have none of it, and uses this song as a platform to proclaim that he and Josh Dun will not be defined by their earlier musical style.

The music video for "Lane Boy" is slightly shorter than its album version, and shows Joseph walking with two men behind him in hazmat suits while Dun plays at a concert. Near the end of the video, Joseph joins Dun on stage and the crowd crouches down along with Joseph, afterwards jumping at the same time he does. The music video ends with Joseph performing a short dance and then bowing to the crowd.

The music video contains elements from Coldplay's 2005 music video for the single "Fix You".
