[Pick Of The Week] Aly & AJ – “Attack of Panic

Aly & AJ have always given us 100% but new track, “Attack of Panic,” really goes hard. We might as well just call it our Pick Of The Year because it is THAT SONG!

There are tons of tracks inspired by panic attacks and anxiety, but “Attack of Panic” – the track itself and its accompanying video – truly emulates what an anxiety-driven breakdown feels like, only now we have a killer anthem for it that we can fight off our demons with. Plus, we can dance to it, so…win-win!

Filmed in Berlin last fall by Aly’s husband, Stephen Ringer, the video showcases our favorite sister duo killing it in various locations around the city with modern-style choreography and pleather pants.

“Attack of Panic” was inspired by a conversation Aly had with the father of a friend whose first language is Italian, describing the paroxysms of fear and anxiety that had begun to seize him later in life. The duo found the Italian-to-English translation compelling. “It’s literally an attack of panic. It attacks your senses. It attacks your entire being.”
