Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
Just know, I'm trying my best (I'm trying my best)
'Cause, when you look (when you look)
When you laugh (when you laugh)
When you smile (when you smile)
I'll bring you back (bring you back)
And now I'm sad (now I'm sad)
And I'm a mess (and I'm a mess)
And now we high (now we high)
That's, why I left (why I left)
That's, why I left
Will your tongue still remember the taste of my lips? (my lips, my lips, my lips)
Will your shadow remember the swing of my hips? (my hips, my hips, my hips)
Will your lover caress you the way, that I did? (I did, I did, I did)
Will you notice my charm, if he slips up one bit? (one bit)
'Cause I don't need to know
I just wanna make sure you're okay (okay)
I don't need to know
I just wanna make sure you're all safe, all safe, all safe
Will he play you those songs, just the way, that I did? (I did, I did, I did)
Will he play you so strong, just the way, that I did? (I did)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Will he treat you like shit, just the way, that I did? (I did, I did, I did)
'Cause I don't blame ya
'Cause I don't need to know
I just want to make sure you're okay (okay)
I don't need to know
I just want to make sure you're all safe
The lyrics of Joji's song Will He are filled with emotions of regret, sadness, love, and heartbreak. The first verse speaks of the narrator's anxiety and trying to do his best while being emotionally burdened. He talks about the bittersweet memories that he shares with his lover and how he has to leave them despite being in love with them. The chorus shows the narrator's concern about his lover's wellbeing even though they are no longer together. He doesn't need to know everything but just wants to ensure their safety and wellbeing.
The second verse of the song is poignant as it reflects the uncertainty and insecurity that the narrator has about his lover moving on. He wonders if they will forget him, if their new lover would treat them as he did and if he would still have an impact in their life. He still loves them and wants to ensure that they are okay, but he is unsure if he deserves their forgiveness or if they have completely moved on.
Overall, the lyrics of Will He by Joji evoke deep emotions of love and regret that many can relate to. The song portrays the complexity of relationships and the aftermath of heartbreak that leaves one wondering about their past lover's life while trying to move on with their own.

I got knots all up in my chest (up in my chest, up in my chest)
I'm feeling anxious and tense.
Just know, I'm trying my best (I'm trying my best)
I'm doing my utmost to cope with my emotions.
'Cause, when you look (when you look)
When you laugh (when you laugh)
When you smile (when you smile)
I'll bring you back (bring you back)
And now I'm sad (now I'm sad)
And I'm a mess (and I'm a mess)
And now we high (now we high)
That's, why I left (why I left)
That's, why I left
Seeing you happy reminds me of the good times we had together, but it also makes me realize that those times are gone, and now I'm sad and struggling with my feelings, which is why I ended our relationship.
Will your tongue still remember the taste of my lips? (my lips, my lips, my lips)
Will your shadow remember the swing of my hips? (my hips, my hips, my hips)
Will your lover caress you the way, that I did? (I did, I did, I did)
Will you notice my charm, if he slips up one bit? (one bit)
I'm plagued by doubts about whether you still think of me and remember everything we shared, and whether your new partner can meet your needs in the same way that I did.
'Cause I don't need to know
I just wanna make sure you're okay (okay)
I don't need to know
I just wanna make sure you're all safe, all safe, all safe
I don't necessarily want to know the answers to my questions about our past, I just hope you're doing well and staying safe in the present.
Will he play you those songs, just the way, that I did? (I did, I did, I did)
Will he play you so strong, just the way, that I did? (I did)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Will he treat you like shit, just the way, that I did? (I did, I did, I did)
'Cause I don't blame ya
I wonder if your new partner reminds you of me in any way, especially when it comes to the way he treats you. I hope he's treating you better and that you have moved on from the way that our relationship ended.
