Second Single: "It It Only Gets Better"
On November 5th, Joji released another single, "It It Only Gets Better", which reflects his lo-fi origins by blending acoustic guitar with syncopated bass and rich harmonies. The single is supported by a video directed by James Mao, which playfully references Joji’s breakthrough hit "YEAH RIGHT" from his 2018 album BALLADS 1. The video contrasts energetic, club-like visuals with reflective, minimalist lyrics.
"It It Only Gets Better recalls his lo-fi roots, weaving acoustic guitar with syncopated bass and soaring harmonies."
