"Performance brings the song’s intensity to life with raw emotion and energy," commented another. "Powerful track with a message that hits deep. Glad to see mental health voiced on a global stage," an X user remarked.Some other reactions on X are as follows:
"Crazy how we’ll scream lyrics about anxiety in a crowd but won’t text our therapist back," a netizen quipped. "She owned that stage raw, powerful, and unapologetic. Anxiety hits different live," wrote an X user.For the unversed, Anxiety's re-released version was dropped on March 4, 2025, via Top Dawg Entertainment and Capitol Records. The music video for the song was released in April 2025. The song was also added as a bonus track on Alligator Bites Never Heal.
