"Chlorine" is a song by American musical duo Twenty One Pilots. It was released through Fueled by Ramen on January 22, 2019 as the fifth single from their fifth studio album, Trench (2018). The track was written and produced by lead singer Tyler Joseph and Paul Meany of rock band Mutemath. It is a trip hop, rap rock and electropop song which discusses "how creativity can cleanse dark impulses but cause its own pain".[3]

"Chlorine" was well-received by music critics, who highlighted its catchiness and musical restraint compared to the band's previous work. It became the band's fifth number one single on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and the first track from Trench to be certified platinum. The song was sent to alternative radio on January 29, 2019 and to top 40 radio on March 19, 2019.
