“ATTENTION” by Joji

“ATTENTION” is the title of a song by the Japanese born Australian singer, songwriter and producer Joji. In the lyrics of this song, the narrator (Joji) isn’t too happy about the fact that he is in love with a girl who fails to give him the attention he wants from her. He even starts the song by asking her if it would kill her just to show him a little attention. This rhetorical question shows how desperately the narrator wants the girl’s affection.

Lyrics of “ATTENTION” by Joji

All Joji wants from the girl is a little bit of her attention. But sadly, she shows him none. She rather focuses all her attention on other guys. This leaves him trapped in the web of unrequited love and breaks his heart like nobody’s business. It is important to mention that the pain of unrequited love is a theme that runs throughout the whole album (Ballads 1) where this song is featured.
