About “Gimme Love”

“Gimme Love” is the third single from Joji’s second studio album Nectar. The song is a love ballad from Joji, with him beckoning for affection from his lover, citing the pain it causes him when they don’t do so.

The track starts with a darker, lo-fi electronic instrumental that Joji is known for, featuring fast, clapping snares and droning synthesizers in the background. However, the upbeat acoustic ending of the song is a stark difference from the darker vibes of Joji’s previous work.

The song title first surfaced when a fan noticed Backstage, a media casting site, recruiting actors for a project listed as “Gimme Love Music Video” on March 6, 2020. The listing was quickly taken down from the site once fans got ahold of the information it contained. A month later, an upcoming single from Joji was teased by his label on April 12, 2020, with more audio and video teasers on the following days. Joji finally announced the title of the track on April 15, 2020, a day before its release.
