Joji's "If It Only Gets Better": The Saddest Strip-Club Anthem
Joji transforms melancholy into art with his new track "If It Only Gets Better," teasing his upcoming album Piss In The Wind. The song begins with the familiar visual of a strip club but quickly surprises listeners with a delicate acoustic guitar melody.
Producer Wonton chose to keep the mood somber, creating perhaps the most melancholic strip-club anthem to date. The lyrics revolve around a simple, reflective question:
“If things get better, why bother changing anything?”
This thought resembles the excuses people make to avoid effort—like skipping the gym—but Joji delivers it poetically. The rest of the song is mostly composed of soft vocalizations, capturing a resigned feeling.
Mixed by Jeff Ellis, the track lasts just under two minutes. Its abstract nature has sparked a Reddit debate: is this a profound artistic statement or a clever teaser for the 2026 album?
The music video, directed by Mamesjao, embraces the track's ambiguity, adding to the overall mystique. Despite its unusual blend, the song works because Joji has perfected making sadness sound beautiful, evolving from his Filthy Frank persona to a sincere artist.
If Piss In The Wind continues with this vulnerable, minimalistic style, fans are eagerly awaiting more.
Summary
This track showcases Joji’s artistry in turning melancholy into beautiful minimalism, leaving fans intrigued whether it is profound expression or smart marketing.
