The song seemingly connects to his current state after the success of “SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK,” and constantly calls him “Mr. Hollywood” after he rose in fame and fortune, but Joji sees past this and promises that he will be there no matter how prominent he might become.
Mr. Hollywood
Joji Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She said, "Mr. Hollywood, won't you come back soon?"
She said, "Mr. Hollywood, won't you come back soon? (Ayy, ayy)
She said, "Mr. Hollywood, won't you come back soon? (Ayy, ayy)
She said, ooh
I just wanna lay right by your side
We just gotta make it through the night
You don't gotta say
You're not into me no more
When we pass out on the floor
See the sunrise through the door
By the way you move, I know you want me to
Tell you all the rules, I know I'm searching too
Give me all your clues and things to guide me through
The end of the world, the end of the world
Don't blow out the fuse when darkness comes to light
So much I could do to make you come to life
Fingers coming loose, I see there's no more time
Don't tell me I'm gone, don't tell me I'm gone
She said, "Mr. Hollywood, won't you come back soon?" (Ayy, ayy)
She said, "Mr. Hollywood, won't you come back soon? (Ayy, ayy)
She said, ooh
I just wanna lay right by your side
We don't gotta love each other right
We just gotta make it through the night
You don't gotta say
You're not into me no more
When we pass out on the floor
See the sunrise through the door
By the way you move, I know you want me to
Tell you all the rules, I know I'm searching too
Give me all your clues and things to guide me through
The end of the world, the end of the world
In this song, Joji presents us with a story about a woman who is expressing her desire for Mr. Hollywood to come back to her soon. She seems to have a slight fear of being left behind as she constantly asks to be reassured that he will return. She just wants to lay by his side and enjoy his company, even if it's just for the night. The woman acknowledges that they don't have to love each other in order to enjoy their time together, they just need to make it through the night. By the way Mr. Hollywood moves, she knows he wants her as well and she just needs a little bit of guidance from him to make it through another day. The end of the world seems to be on her mind, perhaps as a metaphor for the end of their time together.

"WE DON'T HAVE TO LOVE EACH OTHER RIGHT. WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT." My man Joji is an absolute lyricist. Also the mv makes it seem like a sequel or prequel to Run. Doesn't it??
