120 BPM – ANXIETY ATTACK

Composed by Melanie Bradley

“120 BPM Anxiety Attack” is a visceral, high-energy exploration of the moment your mind and body betray you. The 120 BPM is the frantic, unyielding rhythm of a racing heart and panicked thoughts. It is the soundtrack to an internal crisis that, to the outside world, looks like stillness.

The reason for the song is to capture the paradox: while the person experiencing the anxiety attack is curled up, frozen, or desperately trying to be still, their internal world is moving at twice the speed of life. The music—at $120$ BPM—serves as the unwanted metronome of panic, a clock ticking down to a point of emotional breakdown.

It’s a song for anyone who has felt that explosive internal energy trapped inside a body that can’t move, a voice that can’t speak, and a mind that can’t stop. It’s a sonic journey through the feeling of being overclocked and overwhelmed simultaneously.
