Joji digs deeper into the quiet storm with Past Won’t Leave My Bed, the third single from his upcoming fourth album Piss In The Wind, set for February 6, 2026 on Virgin Music. It landed yesterday with a visualizer premiere on YouTube, pulling you into that familiar ache like sheets tangled from a night you can’t shake.
Joji has this knack for making the heavy stuff feel almost gentle, and this track leans right into it. He shared the visualizer drop on November 4, just a simple link in his stories that had fans pausing mid-scroll. The sound stays true to his lane: those soft, warped guitars floating over a minimal beat, his voice low and looped like it’s stuck on repeat in your head. It is all about the past crashing your present, those ghosts that settle in and refuse to budge, wrapped in lyrics that hint at regret without spelling it out. Think slow-build tension, the kind that mirrors the fuzz of the visuals, black-and-white clips of empty rooms and flickering lights. It builds on the resignation from his last single, If It Only Gets Better, but flips it toward something stickier, more haunting.
This one clocks in as track 11 on Piss In The Wind’s 21-song lineup, near the end of what feels like Joji’s most unguarded project yet. The album traces that sense of drifting through letdowns, from pixelated heartbreaks early on to these closing reflections that leave you hanging. No big features teased, just him and producers like Cedric Elijah keeping it sparse and real, around 40 minutes total of that signature melancholy.
Joji is settling into this phase where he is less frantic and more deliberate, a couple years past his last record and with life pulling him in new directions like family and those low-key collabs. The road from his wilder early days to this has him sounding surer, turning the mess into music that lingers without overwhelming.
X picked up on the visualizer quick, people sharing stills of the bed shots and tying it back to his old Glimpse of Us vibes, with #PissInTheWind threads filling up on how it fits the puzzle. If the first singles set the mood, this one makes it home.

Lyrics of Past Won’t Leave My Bed by Joji
[Verse 1]
This Room Could Be Haunted, A Vision To The Blind
Wishing Sleep Held Me In Her Arms Forever
Shadows Dance Around, Perfectly Blurring Up The Lines
Hallucinations Start To Intertwine
[Chorus]
I Open My Eyes
Her Face Lingers On The Walls
She’s Stuck On Rewind In My Mind
I Try To Move On, But The Past Won’t Leave My Bed
[Verse 2]
I Hear It All The Time Like The Wind Between The Chimes
Holding On To What We Had Together
A Single Note Of My Persistent Hopeless Lullabies
I Know That I Can’t Sleep Forever
[Chorus]
I Open My Eyes
Her Face Lingers On The Walls
She’s Stuck On Rewind In My Mind
I Try To Move On, But The Past Won’t Leave My, My Bed
[Outro]
I Open My Eyes
Her Face Lingers On The Walls
She’s Stuck On Rewind In My Mind
I Try To Move On, But The Past Won’t Leave My Bed
