The song is presumably the record he claimed to have produced at 16 since it features low-volume trap, a common element included in Pink Guy’s songs, whereas the background “Oh/Aw” sound samples Nelly’s “Dilemma”.
"I’m excited to see if it sticks out or not to the listeners."
A music video for the song was released on September 26, 2020.

Tick tock
Heavy like a Brinks truck
Looking like I'm tip-top
Shining like a wristwatch
Time will grab your wrist
Lock it down 'til the thing pop
Tick tock
Heavy like a Brinks truck
Looking like I'm tip-top
Shining like a wristwatch
Time will grab your wrist
Lock it down 'til the thing pop
Can you stick around for a minute til' the ring stops? Please God (please God)
As time keeps slippin' away (slipping away)
Girl, don't start feelin' a way (a way)
You and I, we are one in the same
Loving in pain, loving in
As time keeps slippin' away (slipping away)
Girl, don't start feelin' a way (a way)
You and I, we are one in the same
Loving in pain, loving in (the same)
Tick tock, gimme, gimme big bucks
That is all that I do, girl, I just hit the jackpot
I wish you were here with me now so I could feel some
I wish you were here to hold me down like a real one, real one
Live long, wanna be a big shot
Should've stayed away but always had a weak spot
I've been on the road, and I'm sorry for the mix up
If you still love me can you see me during liftoff, liftoff?
As time keeps slippin' away (slipping away)
Girl, don't start feelin' a way (a way)
You and I, we are one in the same
Loving in pain, loving in
As time keeps slippin' away (slipping away)
Girl, don't start feelin' a way (a way)
You and I, we are one in the same
Loving in pain, loving in (the same)
With my hands in the ocean
With my hands in the ocean
With my hands in the ocean, I pray
I pray, oh, I pray
In Joji's song "Tick Tock", he sings about the passing of time and the pressure that comes with it. The heavy beat of the song supports the lyrics that compare time to a Brinks truck, emphasizing how time is unstoppable and unrelenting. Joji talks about the shiny and desirable qualities of time, like a wristwatch, but also acknowledges how time can lock us down until things pop. He pleads to God for time to just stop for a minute, highlighting the desperation people can feel when struggling to keep up with the pace of life. The chorus repeats the theme of time slipping away, and Joji wishes a loved one was there to hold him down through it all.
The second verse continues with the theme of time and its effects on relationships. Joji admits to being focused on making money and hitting the jackpot, but also wishes for the comfort of his partner's presence. He acknowledges his own weakness and regrets, specifically apologizing for a "mix up" that may have caused a rift between him and his loved one. Despite being on the road, he still hopes that his loved one can see him taken off and still loves him.
Overall, "Tick Tock" is a poignant reflection on the pressures of time and how it can impact relationships.
