The “Can’t Get Over You” video also ends cheerfully with outtakes of the singer falling while rollerblading. The lyrics to this song are unfailingly mournful: At one point, Joji promises, “I won’t be no fun - if I can’t have you, no one can.” But there’s sunshine in this track’s light, glitchy beat, which was produced by heavy-hitters Clams Casino (A$AP Rocky, the Weeknd), Thundercat (Kendrick Lamar, Janelle Monae) and Roget (Miguel, Travis Scott). By way of explanation, he sings, “I don’t have no social cues.” He goes to extreme measures to forget his ex: shaving his head and knocking ice cream from the hand of an unsuspecting teenager.
Since this is a Joji song, the clip opens to find the singer despondent after the end of a relationship. The song will appear on his upcoming Ballads 1 album. YouTube-star-turned-balladeer Joji released a new video for “Can’t Get Over You” on Tuesday.
