Forehead Touch the Ground Lyrics – Joji | from “Piss In The Wind”

Joji is dropping us to our knees with Forehead Touch the Ground, track 10 on his sprawling fourth album Piss In The Wind, hitting shelves February 6, 2026, via his new Palace Creek label distributed by Virgin Music, and it’s got that gut-wrenching pull that makes you pause mid-spin.

This one’s a deep cut in every sense, clocking in as an 2-min gem that’s all about surrender—not the easy kind, but the raw, forehead-to-the-floor moment when holding on feels like the only way through the fog. From the snippets floating around, Joji’s voice floats over sparse, echoing production: think muted piano keys and a faint, swelling drone that builds like a held breath, pulling you into themes of quiet defeat and desperate intimacy. It’s less about the fight and more the fallout—relationships that leave you bowed, chasing echoes of what was, with that signature lo-fi haze he does so well. Genre stays in his wheelhouse: alt-R&B with a psychedelic twist, no big hooks, just layers that unfold like a confession you weren’t ready for. Creatively, it’s him leaning into the weird spaces between hope and haze, produced with touches from folks like Kenny Beats to keep it grounded yet otherworldly.

The whole Piss In The Wind buildup has been this slow unravel, kicking off with PIXELATED KISSES back in October to tease the pixelated pain, then If It Only Gets Better dropping the title and date in early November. Past Won’t Leave My Bed followed quick with a video that had everyone talking haunted bedsheets. Joji’s kept it cryptic on socials, just enough story drops to keep the pre-save buzzing on Spotify—link up there for the full 21-track ride and alerts when it lands. Tracklist’s a beast: collabs with GIVĒON on Piece of You, 4batz for Fade to Black, Yeat on Rose Colored, and Don Toliver closing with Fragments, all wrapped in that animated cover that’s got fans theorizing already.

Joji’s owning this chapter like it’s therapy set to tape. Three years out from SMITHEREENS and that Glimpse of Us billion-stream wave, he’s traded some chaos for control—launching his label, dipping into sold-out tours that feel like shared secrets, and now stretching to 21 tracks where Nectar’s nine felt like a fever dream. Piss In The Wind’s him facing the wind without flinching, evolving that broken-heart blueprint into something sharper, more lived-in, like he’s finally mapping the mess.
