“Gimme Love” by Joji

As you’ve probably already deduced, in “Gimme Love” Joji is addressing a romantic interest. And indeed he is demanding that she ‘give him love’. More to the point, receiving such from her is very important to his emotional well being, especially when he is feeling “low”, i.e. depressed. And apparently him being in such a state is the backdrop for the storyline of this song, as again he is entreating her to impart some of her genuine affection his way. Indeed the singer acknowledges that other individuals in his life, due to their fakeness and lack of care, just aren’t getting it done for him. And he drives this overall point home by letting the addressee know that when she does not give him his prerequisite attention he feels devastated in the aftermath.

So basically as the song concludes he is not only going about enlightening her about just how important she is to him sentimentally. He also seems to be warning that if his feelings are not reciprocated, he may just leave her altogether. And what all these claims boil down to is him once again entreating her to make him right, as only she can, from an emotional perspective.
