Joji If It Only Gets Better: The Saddest Strip-Club Anthem Ever | Neon Music

Joji Turns Melancholy Into Art on "If It Only Gets Better"

"If It Only Gets Better" is a new track by Joji from his upcoming album Piss In The Wind, blending sadness with beautiful minimalism. The song surprises listeners by opening in a strip club setting but quickly shifts to a delicate acoustic guitar tone.

Producer Wonton aimed to "keep it sad," creating what might be the most melancholic strip-club anthem ever. The lyrics distill to a poignant question:

If things get better, why bother changing anything?

This reflects a common mindset, but Joji renders it poetic rather than trivial. The track also features simple vocalizations like "ooh, ooh, ooh," capturing moments when words fall short.

Production and Reception

Music Video and Artistic Direction

The video, directed by Mamesjao, embraces the song’s ambiguous mood, enhancing its appeal. Joji continues to evolve, moving from his earlier Filthy Frank persona to a more sincere and vulnerable artist.

If Piss In The Wind maintains this unique, emotional tone, fans will likely remain captivated. Whether this approach is pure artistic expression or smart marketing remains to be seen.

It’s distinctly, unapologetically Joji.

Author's summary: Joji's "If It Only Gets Better" transforms sadness into a hauntingly beautiful minimalistic anthem, teasing his upcoming album with emotional depth and striking vulnerability.
