Meaning of PIXELATED KISSES by Joji

Joji’s “PIXELATED KISSES” is about longing for closeness in a relationship that’s separated by distance and digital barriers.

The song feels sad and dreamy, like missing someone you can’t touch. It sounds like floating in space, trying to connect with someone far away.

We hear Joji sing about “pixelated kisses” and waiting for a signal, which makes us think of trying to feel love through screens, like on video calls or texts. The chorus repeats how these moments drive him a bit wild, and when he says “if you never hear from me, all the satellites are down,” it’s almost like he’s blaming lost connections on broken technology, but maybe it’s about feelings fading too. Then, he wonders if the other person is “really down,” almost like he’s not sure if they still care as much as he does—so we start to wonder with him.
