"Uncomfortably Numb" is a song by the American emo band American Football. It was released on January 22, 2019, as the second single from their third self-titled album. [1]
The track features Mike Kinsella and Paramore vocalist Hayley Williams [1] alternating verses of a narrative. This collaboration marks a radical change in the band's sound from their mathy emo roots to a dreamier, more atmospheric sound with lyrical maturation [2] [3] and noticeably refined production quality.

The song has received critical acclaim [5] [6] and is considered an album highlight.
Alongside the song, a music video was also released which follows the narrative of the song and stars former Workaholics star Blake Anderson and pro skater Paul Rodriguez. [7]
