"Love You Less" (stylised in all caps) is a song by Japanese-Australian singer-songwriter Joji, released as the fourth single from his fourth studio album, Piss in the Wind, on 2 January 2026. It was produced by Ricky Reed.

Composition

"Love You Less" has been described as shoegaze,[1][2] indie rock,[3] and dream pop,[4] featuring "swirling" textures, "melancholic" guitars, and steady drum work.[1][5] Lyrically, the song details Joji's feelings towards an unbalanced, "push-and-pull" romance,[3] with one person being fully committed and the other only growing more distant.[5]

Critical reception

Ken Partridge of Genius compared the song's sound to My Bloody Valentine.[2] Robin Murray of Clash found that the song sees Joji "at his most open" lyrically, and called the song's shoegaze-inspired textures "gorgeous".[1] Elijah Pareño of Rolling Stone Philippines described the song as having a "loose" and "fragile" quality, and found Joji stepping into a different genre to work in his favor.[4]

Visualizer

A 360-degree visualizer was released alongside the song on January 2. The computer-generated video is shown from the perspective of a character "flying through a city under siege" into space, encountering "all sorts of sci-fi and trippy visuals".[5] Ken Partridge of Genius compared the visualizer to a Star Wars video game.[2]
