The Itchyworms, a Filipino band known for their catchy pop-rock tunes, have recently released a single titled "Panic in my Mind". The track opens up with a bang, and then progresses with raw and emotional vocals.
The instrumentation is key in conveying the emotional intensity of the song.

The bridge is a standout moment in the song, with the vocals reaching a higher register, emphasizing the overall vibe. The track brings to life the never-ending thoughts of a fairy tale ending with that special someone. Incorporating a retro pop rock melody into a groovy bass line completes its upbeat and classic sound, while the accompaniment perfectly layers in lyrics that talk about pining over someone in a world where they are the anomaly.
