“Thom” is one of the two lead singles from Chloe Burbank Volume 1, and is more based in rap than its counterpart, “You Suck Charlie.”
The song title most likely is a reference to the name of Radiohead’s lead vocalist, Thom Yorke – Joji has stated in interviews that Radiohead is a big influence to his music.
The song samples Ariana Grande’s acapella cover of “Heart of the Matter” by India Arie.
