"The Craving" is a song by American musical duo Twenty One Pilots, released on May 22, 2024, through Fueled by Ramen as the fourth single from their seventh studio album Clancy.[1] Two different versions of the song were released by the band with differing arrangements and production, with one released as a promotional single and the other, subtitled "Jenna's Version", being released on the album itself.

Background

[edit]

On May 9, 2024, the duo debuted "The Craving" to a live audience at an intimate show in London.[2][3][4] The song would eventually be released in two versions, both differing in production and in instrumental arrangement. The "(Single Version)" is up-beat with more instruments and additional production by Spencer Stewart; the album cut "(Jenna's Version)" is an acoustic and stripped-back version of the song.[1][5]

Composition

[edit]

"The Craving" was written by lead singer Tyler Joseph as a dedication to his wife, Jenna Joseph.[3] Since 2015, every Twenty One Pilots album has had a love ballad to Jenna, with "The Craving" being the fourth following "Tear in My Heart", "Smithereens", and "Formidable".[6][7]
