After growing anticipation and teases for their fifth studio album, twenty one pilots released a video entitled “I Am Clancy”<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozlHHR_eSxc</ref> on February 22, 2024 to both recap the Dema story up until this point and tease its final chapter. Underneath the narration from frontman Tyler Joseph was a song with a German phrase that roughly translates to: “The secret island has weaponized me,” which is a reference to one of the Clancy letters.
''Next Semester'' was announced on March 21st, set to release the following week. A video filmed by an unknown volunteer from the music video shoot was released shortly before the announcement, though ''Twenty One Pilots'' included the short video in the announcement <ref>https://www.instagram.com/twentyonepilots/p/C4x2oUDLfeb/?img_index=1</ref>. The day before release, the entirety of ''Next Semester'' was leaked, spreading across numerous online platforms.


“Overcompensate” released at noon CST on February 29, alongside a radio debut on BBC Radio 1. “[[Shy Away]]” also received a mid-day release, and a Radio 1 interview, when it kicked off the [[Scaled and Icy era|''Scaled and Icy'' era]].
“Next Semester” was officially released on March 27th with its corresponding music video. As well as a music release, ''Twenty One Pilots'' also released the dates and locations for the newly announced ''Clancy Tour''.

(Diese kleine unheimliche Insel hat mich zu einer Waffe gemacht)
No-no-no, no-no-no
 
No-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no
 
No-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no
 
[Verse 1]
 
Stand up straight now (Ooh)
 
Can't break down (Ooh)
 
Graduate now (Ooh)
 
I don't wanna be here, I don't wanna be here
 
It's a taste test (Ooh)
 
Of what I hate less (Ooh)
 
Can you die of anxiousness? (Ooh)
 
I don't wanna be here, I don't wanna be here
 
What's about to happen?
 
What's about to happen?
 
[Chorus]


(Wir glauben beide—)
I remember


(Cette petite île étrange a fait de moi une arme)
I remember certain things


(Nous croyons tous les deux que nous pouvons l'utiliser pour changer l'élan de cette guerre)
What I was wearing


(Esta pequeña isla misteriosa me ha convertido en un arma)
The yellow dashes in the street


(Todos creemos que podemos usarla para cambiar el impulso de esta guerra)
I prayed those lights would take me home


Then I heard, "Hey, kid, get out of the road!"


[Post-Chorus]


[Bridge]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)


Welcome back to Trench
I don't wanna be here, I don't wanna be here


Welcome back to Trench
[Verse 2]


I created this world to feel some control
Can't feel my legs (Ooh)


Destroy it if I want
I might suffocate (Ooh)


So I sing, "sahlo folina"
There's a pressure in my chest (Ooh)


"Sahlo folina"
I don't wanna be here, I don't wanna be here


(Wait, what? Wait, what?)
What's about to happen?  


(Wait, what? Wait, what?)
What's about to happen?


[Chorus]


I remember


[Verse 1]
I remember certain things


Earned my stripes, three hundred tracks in my Adidas track jacket
What I was wearin'


Bless your ear holes while you react, acting
The yellow dashes in the street


Gobsmacked, don't hesitate to maybe overcompensate
I prayed those lights would take me home


I feel like I was just here, same twitchin' in my eyes
Then I heard, "Hey, kid, get out of the road!"


Don't sleep on a boy who can fall asleep twice in the same night
[Refrain]


And won't hesitate to maybe overcompensate
(Ohh, woah, oh, oh-woah)


(Ohh, woah, oh, oh-woah, ohh)


Can't change what you've done
Start fresh next semester


[Chorus]
[Chorus]


I said I fly by the dangerous bend symbol (Wait, what? Wait, what?)
I remember
 
I remember certain things
 
What I was wearin'
 
The yellow dashes in the street
 
I prayed those lights would take me home
 
Then I heard, "Hey, kid, get out of the road!"
 
[Refrain]


Mm, don't hesitate To maybe overcompensate
(Ohh, woah, oh, oh-woah)


And then by the time I catch in my peripheral (Wait, what? Wait, what?)
And then he slowed down


Mm, don't hesitate to maybe overcompensate
(Ohh, woah, oh, oh-woah, ohh)


And rolled down his window


And he said


[Verse 2]
"Can't change what you've done


Where am I from? I was born right here, just now
Start fresh next semester"


Originated right in front of your eyes
[Outro]


If you can't see, I am Clancy, prodigal son
It's a taste test


Done running, come up with Josh Dun
Of what I hate less


Wanted dead or alive
I don't wanna be here


So now you pick who you serve, you bow to the masses
Start fresh with the new year


Get kicked to the curb for passin' the classes
(Ohh, ahh, oh, oh-woah)


Half empty, half full, save half of your taxes
(Ohh, ahh, oh, oh-woah)


Then overtake your former self
Can't change what you've done


Start fresh next semester

|<span style="background:#FFBE3D;">Host:</span> "talk to me about I guess this this new, energy that you that you have for like... making records because you took a bit of time which I think is always good. There's no point like you know [to] bang out record after record after record. Does it feel different this time around?"
Tyler Joseph: "There is some difference, obviously you know getting older I've got a family now. Trying to balance out when it was just me, and you know, no responsibilities and all I wanted to do was make music. You know my dad said like, "One day you'll grow up" and I think he was talking about my sleep schedule and my just, you know, like staying up all night and I think it's finally come around to me now. I do go to bed and I do get up in the morning now and uh, and still fit in creativity inside of that window. And in fact in some ways it's more, it's more effective, it's more efficient."


('Ooh's) can't change what you've done


Start fresh next semester


<span style="background:#FFC760;">Host:</span> "Why overcompensate, um sort of I guess start this new journey with the fans?"




<span style="background:#FFC760;">Tyler:</span> "There's a lyric in the chorus that talks about a dangerous bend symbol and it's a certain sign, it's like a zigzag sign that basically says, "Hey up ahead you know slow down there's a there's a sharp turn" and um, I just remember remember thinking it's kind of cheesy I guess but a bit of an analogy in in certain seasons of my life where I would just completely ignore those sorts of signs um and just you know go full speed ahead and kind of
I remember, I remember certain things


learn the hard way in some ways. So a bit of that overcompensating is, you know, overcorrecting your steering when trying to get back on, you know, on course and um you know it's interesting I think in the UK you're dangerous Bend symbols slightly different than over here in the States but just so you guys know I was thinking of the one in the UK when I wrote it. Um, and so not not here and it wasn't until afterwards I was driving in my hometown, I realized oh that's way different. That one's that one's big and yellow and the other one's kind of like... a triangle, um, it's way cooler looking. So I think you guys have cooler signs over there."
What I was wearing, the yellow dashes in the street


I prayed those lights would take me home


<span style="background:#FFC760;">Host:</span> "I'm going to confess something to you my love, I don't know how to drive so anything you said, even my producing team was just like [inaudible], look where I grew up, I've only ever ridden a bike or walked. Like sue me, I'm looking after the planet, how about that!"  
Then I heard, "Hey kid, get out of the road"




<span style="background:#FFC760;">Tyler:</span> "Other than a few analogies that you can draw in your in your life that's about it."


('Ooh's) can't change what you've done


<span style="background:#FFC760;">Host:</span> "You know, um I remember during our conversation we were hanging out in Ohio and you were talking about um songs and like a theory that you know isn't it fascinating, that there's there's a certain amount of notes, and like you know it's quite interesting how just picking a finite amount can like make a song. And then there's that theory of like maybe you know you only get access to a limited amount of notes in your lifetime. [I] don't know if you remember that, that conversation. Like have you had that approach with like with this upcoming album as well? Like are you finding like a new well of notes or..."
Start fresh next semester




<span style="background:#FFC760;">Tyler:</span> "I describe it as um, plucking out of two different pools of infinity. The first pool is the nothing to something where there was at one point no song and now there's a song. You know the creativity is sparked, you create something out of thin air and then there's this other pool of infinity. It's the, it's how to dress it up how, to record it what's the structure. What is, you know, what instruments should be used and in communicating the song and that's the part that takes a long time, you know? I've been worked on this record for a year and there are times where I asked myself, "is it supposed to be this hard, is it supposed to take this long?" and I have to remind myself the part that actually takes really long is the how to dress it up part."


It's a taste test


<span style="background:#FFC760;">Host:</span> "Right on, and now look I know it did take a year but a year well worth it because the new album's coming in May, it's called Clancy. I don't want to ask, like, what can fans expect because obviously they're going to expect a Twenty One Pilots record but that can sound like anything."
Of what I hate less


I don't want to be here


<span style="background:#FFC760;">Tyler:</span> "Clancy is um, it's kind of our protagonist, um, in the story that we've been telling and we've kind of been stretching this story out over the course of the last several records actually. Um, Clancy is the type of character who for a long time didn't know if he was a leader or not didn't really want to take responsibility for it and I think specifically this song, Overcompensate being the first song on the record, it's going to be the first song we play live when we start, you know, uh, touring. There's a bit of a confidence in it and a bit of a swagger in it that that the character really needed to embody in order to take on the new role. That, uh, the story that we've been telling and Clancy's going to kind of like, rise up as that as that person."
Start fresh with a new year

!Lyrics

|“Next Semester” is the second promotional single from twenty one pilots‘ sixth full-length studio album ''Clancy'', following “Overcompensate,” and released alongside the official announcement for The Clancy World Tour—spanning nine months and 14 countries.


As an interpretive song, it is difficult to pinpoint what singer-songwriter Tyler Joseph is getting at exactly, but it is evident that “Next Semester” talks about one’s struggles at a young age to find their place and identity. They are stuck between their mistakes from the past—one of which is presumed to be a failed suicide attempt—and the pressure to not fail in the future. The song and music video seem to act as a sort of “opposite side of the same coin” to their earlier song “Heavydirtysoul” and its music video, particularly the car scenes. Another popular interpretation is that the subject had a panic attack in the middle of the road, only somewhat aware of what was going on, evidenced by the loose details in their recount of the experience.


<span style="background:#FFBE3D;">Host:</span> "Thank you so much Tyler for your time, and yeah let's run it again this is tonight's hottest record coming from the album, "Clancy" brand new Twenty One Pilots. this is Overcompensate, this is Radio 1's hottest record."
The band announced and teased “Next Semester” in the days leading up to its release. However, despite the song leaking two days before, it stayed true to its original mid-day release of March 27, 2024.<ref>https://genius.com/Twenty-one-pilots-next-semester-lyrics</ref>
