Piece of You Lyrics
[Chorus]
Yeah, it hurt, I'm feeling fine, found the sky
That you don't live in no more, and it hurt
Breathing in the night, left you behind
No chasing your ghost no more again
All the constellations, they no longer hold a piece of you (Ah)
Now I can finally say that I stopped looking for that piece of you (Yeah, yeah)
[Post-Chorus]
Finally found another sky
You're not on my mind like you used to be
Cloudy every other night (Cloudy every other night)
Tryna forget all that you were for me (For me)
When I fell into you (Fell into you)
Hesitating, not sure what to do
All the reasons why left you behind, say
[Verse]
Three or four times, I'm not even sure (I'm not sure)
Can't do love now without all the back and forth
Rain kept coming down, but I liked your pour
Sky's so clear without you in your storm
Now you're looking for a piece of me
I can't be peace for you now, hey
Said you're looking for a piece of me
I'm not peace for you now
[Chorus]
Yeah, it hurt, I'm feeling fine, found the sky
That you don't live in no more, and it hurt
Breathing in the night, left you behind
No chasing your ghost no more again
All the constellations, they no longer hold a piece of you
Now I can finally say that I stopped looking for that piece of you
[Outro]
All the constellations, they no longer hold a piece of you
Now I can finally say that I stopped looking for that piece of you

Piece of You Song Meaning [Joji]
“Piece of You,” performed by Joji in collaboration with GIVĒON, sits within "Piss In The Wind", the highly anticipated fourth studio album from the Japanese-Australian singer-songwriter George Miller, known professionally as Joji. Set for release on February 6, 2026, this project marks Joji’s first major record under his independent label Palace Creek and continues his evolution from lo-fi alt-R&B introspection into a deeply cinematic fusion of brooding emotionality and refined production. The inclusion of GIVĒON — a contemporary R&B voice celebrated for his soulful baritone and vulnerability in exploring relational fractures — positions “Piece of You” as one of the album’s standout duet moments, drawing on both artists’ strengths in articulating the messy aftermath of love and loss.
Song Meaning
From the outset, “Piece of You” channels a feeling of wound and release, navigating the delicate terrain between lingering attachment and the hard-won clarity that comes with emotional distance. Unlike straightforward breakup songs that wallow in regret, this collaboration reframes separation as an evolving journey — one that acknowledges the remnants of affection while forging space for self-sovereignty. The pairing of Joji’s evocative melancholic tone with GIVĒON’s rich R&B warmth underscores a dual perspective: neither voice rushes toward resolution but instead honors the complexity of stepping away from someone who once felt indispensable.
Lyrically and sonically, the song maps the psyche of someone transitioning from nostalgia to acceptance. The production, sensitive and spacious, allows both voices to breathe into the emotional weight of the narrative, suggesting that the process of detachment is less about severing memory and more about redefining its role. In this way, the track unfolds as an internal dialogue — at times reflective, at times resolute — showing that moving forward often means revisiting what once tethered the heart, then deciding to let it rest in a different context.
The collaboration itself is telling. Joji has built a reputation for tender, often fragile articulations of misspent love and nostalgia, while GIVĒON consistently weaves his narratives through soulful explorations of heartbreak and growth. Together, their dialogue in “Piece of You” isn’t a clash but a complementary convergence: one voice carries the echo of what was, and the other gently places it into a broader emotional landscape where release doesn’t equate to erasure. This dynamic makes the song resonate with anyone who has carried the weight of love past its lifespan.
Emotional Core and Themes
At its heart, “Piece of You” grapples with a universal emotional truth: that letting go is not linear, nor is it tidy. The song lingers in the space where affection, memory, and identity intersect, insisting that healing does not happen in a single moment of epiphany but through many quiet realizations. It resists the simplistic notion of closure as a clean break and instead honors the nuanced experience of learning not to pursue what no longer serves. This thematic depth reflects both artists’ broader musical preoccupations with heartbreak as a catalyst for personal understanding and self-reclamation. The weight of past connection is acknowledged without romanticizing dependence, inviting listeners to feel the ache without becoming ensnared by it.
Connection with Listeners
For audiences, especially those attuned to R&B’s emotional vernacular, “Piece of You” offers a mirror to lived experience. It speaks to the bittersweetness of remembering someone — not with clinging grief but with measured insight. Whether a fan of Joji’s introspective alt-pop sensibilities or GIVĒON’s soulful R&B reflections on love and loss, listeners find in this duet a shared language of vulnerability and resilience. The song doesn’t merely tell listeners “what” happened; it articulates “how” it feels to move through heartbreak with dignity, making it a powerful companion for anyone navigating the liminal space between attachment and autonomy.
Conclusion
In positioning “Piece of You” within the emotional tapestry of Piss In The Wind, Joji and GIVĒON craft a moment of reflective sophistication — a duet that doesn’t rush toward catharsis but lets the process of unwinding happen with honesty and grace. The track stands as a testament to the nuance of post-relationship experience: the push and pull between remembrance and release, between the lingering echo of someone once dear and the emergent clarity of self. In doing so, it cements itself not just as a collaboration between two distinct voices, but as a telling chapter in a broader musical exploration of what it truly means to let go and continue on.
