Lore & Background
Lyrically, "Morph" questions what takes place after death and speaks of the temptation to change in order to please others. Critics described it as a mix of lounge jazz, with horn sections and electric piano, and falsetto R&B hooks. On the Bandito Tour the song ended with Josh Dun playing a miniature drum kit held up by the crowd.
