Joji Is Haunted By An Ex On New Song “Past Won’t Leave My Bed”

Joji Releases Third Single "Past Won’t Leave My Bed" from Upcoming Album

Joji recently announced that his fourth studio album, Piss in the Wind, will be released on February 6. Earlier this week, he also released the single “If It Only Gets Better.” Now, he has followed up with a new song titled “Past Won’t Leave My Bed,” a deeply emotional piano ballad co-written with Jonathan Xavier Cunningham, ​fussy, P.J.A. Williams, and producer Dan Farber.

Song Themes and Musical Style

The song opens with Joji expressing how memories of an ex haunt him constantly, with sleep as his only, yet temporary, escape. The chorus, supported by fuzzy guitar chords layered over the piano, emphasizes his ongoing struggle. In the second verse, his attempts at self-comfort fall short as he remains trapped in the past.

As Genius user @Hey_Its_Ion notes, Joji references lullabies reminiscent of his 2020 track “Like You Do,” where he sings, “If you ever go, all the songs that we like / Will sound like bittersweet lullabies.”

Music Video Highlights

The music video for “Past Won’t Leave My Bed” depicts Joji attempting to escape his emotional pain by hitchhiking across the country and engaging in risky activities with questionable individuals.
