“XNXX” by Joji

“XNXX” is a heartbreak song from Joji. The relationship he is singing about apparently ended some time ago. We can deduce this based on him making statements like it is “hard to think about you anymore” (in relation to his ex) while concurrently stating that he has this person “in (his) mind always”.

Also it seems as if he has dealt with other partners since their separation. But despite these interactions he has yet to rediscover love. And this track features the singer lamenting this reality.

But amidst all of this emotional turmoil, Joji still seems to acknowledge that he and his ex going their separate ways is for the best.  So this track does not feature Joji missing a particular individual as much as he misses being in love in general.

As for the title of the song, “XNXX” shares the same name with an adult-themed site which is one of the most-popular internet addresses in the entire world. However, fans have noted that it is also similar to the word ‘Xanax’. Joji actually previously expressed somewhat of an affinity for this drug in his song “Pills”. However, on the surface, neither of these theories ties into the actual subject matter of the song.
