"Glimpse of Us" is a song by Japanese-Australian singer Joji, released as the lead single from his third studio album Smithereens on 10 June 2022 through 88rising and Warner Records.
" During a writing session with Connor McDonough, Castle, and Alexis Kesselman, he found the voice memo titled "Glimpse", and the song was written that day.
[6] The song's lyrics express the conflict of Joji's longing for his ex-lover, even though he is in a relationship with another woman, who has shown tons of affection to him, and is "perfect".
Brenton Blanchet of Complex described the song as a "chilling piano ballad",[8] while Jon Caramanica of The New York Times considered it "splendid and striking".
[9] Andrea See of Bandwagon Asia felt that the "stripped-down" sound of the song "foreshadows Joji's more mature sonic territory" in contrast to his previous electronic material.
[11] "Glimpse of Us" became Joji's highest-charting single upon its debut in various countries, including Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, and the UK.
