“Can’t Get Over You” is a collaboration between Japanese-Australian singer Joji and American record producer/songwriter Clams Casino. In this song’s lyrics, Joji is so possessed by the love he feels for someone that he is ready to do whatever it takes to get her attention and have her.

');var c=function(){cf.showAsyncAd(opts)};if(typeof window.cf !== 'undefined')c();else{cf_async=!0;var r=document.createElement("script"),s=document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];r.async=!0;r.src="//";r.readyState?r.onreadystatechange=function(){if("loaded"==r.readyState||"complete"==r.readyState)r.onreadystatechange=null,c()}:r.onload=c;s.parentNode.insertBefore(r,s)}; })();

As Joji sings, it becomes abundantly clear that he and the girl were once in a relationship. However, for some reason, the girl left him. Now Joji can’t seem to get thoughts of her out of his mind. He wants her back but she’s unwilling to come back to him.

Chorus

In the song’s chorus, Joji talks of how he can’t get over her and how he wishes that someday they could be together again. He wraps up the chorus with the line “If I can’t have you, no one can”. This dark line shows how much he has become obsessed with her. This is a very scary development!

Verse

As if that line wasn’t dark enough, he goes on to drop the following line in the song’s verse.

“Tell me more I got a box cutter with your name on it”

Everyone knows that box cutters are used for cutting things. So why would Joji need one? And why is her name on it? What does he intend using the cutter to cut?

The latter question is what makes the line above extremely dark and quite scary. On the whole, Joji isn’t handling the breakup well.

Yes. The music video was co-directed by Joji and released on October 2, 2018.

Yes. Prior to this track, the pair had never worked together.
