“Mulberry Street” is the seventh track off of "Scaled and Icy". In an upbeat tempo, “Mulberry Street” integrates the styles of “Saturday” and the flow of “Screen.”
The song is named after the real-life Mulberry Street, a road in New York City known for its Italian-American Heritage. Mulberry Street runs through the heart of Little Italy, an Italian city in the midst of Manhattan.
One line from the song, “Keep Your Sunny Days,” was plastered on mugs sold by the band prior to the album’s release and its livestream concert.
Tyler Joseph:
"'“Mulberry Street” for me… there was a street in New York City where Little Italy is, and the first time that I ever kind of left Ohio. My manager, at the time, we had some meetings with like, record labels and stuff and it was just a classic kid going to the big city moment… He’d lived in New York City for a few years in the past and so he knew where he was going. So he took Josh and I, and a couple of friends of mine that are still kind of touring with us and creating with us and stuff. He took us to Little Italy and we had this, you know, it was just like this, ‘I’ve never felt more out of place in my life being in New York City.’ Eat at some, you know, like we’re gonna go get some pizza. ‘This isn’t the pizza I’m used to.’ You know, just something that simple, kind of really reminding you that you’re not home anymore. And so, this song to me was like, very, I wanted to imagine that feeling again.'"
