If It Only Gets Better Lyrics – Joji | from “Piss In The Wind “

Joji slips into a haze of half-hearted optimism on If It Only Gets Better, the second single off his fourth album Piss In The Wind, out February 6, 2026, via Virgin Music, and it hangs there like fog on a still morning, those looping lines whispering that maybe sticking it out is enough, if only for a second.

You can hear Joji wrestling with his own inertia here, the kind that’s marked his work since those early Filthy Frank days turned into slow-burn heartbreak anthems. He dropped this yesterday through an Instagram story, just a casual scroll with the pre-save link and a nudge to the YouTube video, no big fanfare but enough to pull fans right back in. The sound lives in that signature pocket: hazy lo-fi beats with a sparse piano undercurrent, his voice layered soft and doubled like it’s echoing off empty walls, blending alt-R&B melancholy with a touch of indie drift.

Themes lean into quiet defeat dressed as acceptance—why fight the current if it’s all uphill from here? It’s got that raw, unpolished edge, like he recorded it in one late-night take, building on the pixelated longing of his last single, PIXELATED KISSES, but dialing back the ache just a notch to let some light flicker through.

As the fifth track on Piss In The Wind’s 12-song spread, it sits in the thick of an album that’s Joji at his most fatalistic yet, a collection chasing the futility in chasing joy—from wind-swept regrets on the title cut to glitchy escapes midway through. The whole thing clocks around 40 minutes, with producers like Cedric Elijah keeping the vibe intimate and unhurried, no big collabs teased yet but hints of guest spots that nod to his 88rising crew. It’s less about the bombast of Smithereens and more a stream-of-consciousness wander, perfect for those rainy drives where you question the point. Fans can pre-save it on Spotify now to snag the full tracklist and updates—hit up joji.lnk.to/PissInTheWind and get it queued before the world catches up.

Joji’s in this reflective groove three years out from his last full drop, fresh off sold-out shows where he mixed the old hits with stripped-down covers that left rooms hushed. Fatherhood and a bit more distance from the chaos have softened his edges, turning the self-sabotage into something almost tender, like he’s finally okay with not fixing it all.

X lit up overnight with the video drop, folks clipping those oohs over rainy window reels and stacking it against Glimpse of Us for that slow-burn comparison, #PissInTheWind already trending low-key among the die-hards. If PIXELATED KISSES was the spark, this feels like the slow exhale that follows.
