About this song
Joji first previewed the song on May 12, 2018, at the Blurry Vision Festival. He announced its official release on September 7th, along with teaser photos from the music video. It follows his previous single "YEAH RIGHT" and continues its lovelorn story over a dark, ambient instrumental.
What it's about
The song uses the image of slow dancing in the dark to describe a failing relationship. Like a slow dance where you cannot see your partner's face, the relationship is intimate but ultimately impersonal.
