Music video

The music video for "Ride" shows Joseph and Dun performing in the middle of a forest, which abruptly transitions from day to night several times in the video. Joseph walks through the forest while singing the song and playing the bass guitar next to Dun on the drums. Near the end of the video, Joseph and Dun both put on sunglasses and briefly appear to be transported to a concert before the video ends with Joseph singing the final lyrics to the song back in the forest. As of November 2016, the video has over 290 million views on YouTube.

Commercial performance

The song peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100, number one on the Hot Rock Songs, Mainstream Top 40, and Alternative Songs charts, number four on the Adult Top 40 chart and number five on the Hot Dance Airplay chart. The former ranking, coupled with "Heathens" positioned at number four, made Twenty One Pilots the third rock act with simultaneous top five Hot 100 singles in the chart's 58-year history, following only The Beatles and Elvis Presley, making them the first act in 47 years to achieve this milestone.[6][7] It is the duo's third highest ranking single to date, behind "Stressed Out" and "Heathens". "Ride" has also reached the top 20 in various other countries, including Australia, Canada, Slovakia and France.
