Heathens


"Heathens" is a song by Twenty One Pilots written by Tyler Joseph and released as the lead single from the Suicide Squad (2016) motion picture soundtrack through Atlantic Records. The track blends alternative rock with electronic and hip-hop elements, making it a rewarding study in modern guitar tones and minimalist riff construction. Its widespread commercial success and Grammy nominations make it a recognizable and motivating piece for electric guitar players to add to their repertoire.

  • "Heathens" peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, tying with "Stressed Out" as the duo's highest-charting single.
  • The song was produced by Tyler Joseph alongside producer Mike Elizondo, known for his work across rock and pop genres.
  • "Heathens" received three Grammy Award nominations at the 59th annual Grammy Awards ceremony.
