Ew

The opening track to Joji's second studio album 'Nectar', released in September 2020, 'Ew' addresses the instability of past relationships and a desire for something more enduring. The title itself reflects self-doubt, the sense of inadequacy that lingers when someone leaves. Joji sings of wanting to find love that stays rather than constantly causing heartbreak.

The lyrics move between vulnerability and resignation. He asks to be taught to love only to be let go again, admitting 'I can't believe that I'm not enough'. The track sets a tone of quiet melancholy for the album, framing romantic longing through the lens of repeated disappointment. It's a measured opening, more introspective than dramatic, establishing the emotional territory Joji would explore across the rest of 'Nectar'.
