"Panic Room" is a song by German singer-songwriter Au/Ra. It was released on 9 February 2018, as the lead single from her second extended play, X Games (2018).[1] The song was later remixed by English production duo CamelPhat and was released on 29 March 2018. The latter version charted in multiple countries, including the United Kingdom, where it reached the top 40 and was certified Platinum a year later. Au/Ra's solo version later outsold the remix version and was certified Gold (in excess of 500,000 copies) in the United States.
Au/Ra wrote the song about experiencing anxiety.[2]
The music video for the song featured a spaceship-like area. In this area, people are running away to containment chambers after finding a dead body to protect themselves. Originally, the singer follows the others, but reveals to the audience that she was the one who attacked. She enters a chamber and her eyes flash red. The video was released on 21 February 2018, on Au/Ra's YouTube channel.
